Details
As the grandfather clock begins to strike, the Rat King and his band of mice move to finish off the already wounded Nutcracker. A fierce battle ensues with dolls and toy soldiers fighting alongside the Nutcracker. Sadly they are no match for the Rat King and his army. Just when it seems all is lost, Clara throws her slipper and hits the Rat King distracting him long enough for the Nutcracker to stab him. The mice retreat and the Nutcracker is transformed into a handsome prince.
Aitkens Pewter proudly presents the Rat King, one of our series of finely crafted pewter ornaments celebrating the magic of Christmas, the tradition of the Nutcracker Ballet, and the power of the imagination.
Materials + Care
Caring for your pewter
Wash after use with warm water and a mild soap. Jewellery and pieces that don't touch food or drink can also be cleaned with Windex and paper towel. Never put pewter in the dishwasher.
Polished (shiny) finish: bring back the shine with a jeweller's rouge cloth. We use Fabulustre, but any rouge cloth from a hardware or jewellery store works.
Satin (matte) finish: buff out scratches and dullness with a Scotch-Brite or scouring pad, rubbing with the grain.
Shipping + Returns
Free shipping on Canadian orders over $125 and US orders over US$200. US prices include import duties, so there's nothing to pay on delivery.

Handcrafted Since 1972
Every piece begins as molten pewter. Jewelry, ornaments, frames and coasters are cast, chased and finished; mugs, goblets, vases and bowls are spun on a lathe. Each one is polished by hand before it's packed. All our pewter is lead-free and nickel-free, a good choice if other jewellery irritates your skin.
