    It looks Norwegian/Scandinavian and seems to be some kind of pot holder or something like that. i've seen them before but can't remember what they are. i bought it at urban ore in berkeley the other day.

    2. kyratango kyratango, 8 years ago
      Yep, a big ornate nutcracker!

      Scandinavian, right,

      Really cool nutcracker!

      Nice, though it doesn't really look Scandinavian to me, at least not Swedish. Perhaps from the Alps. Switzerland/Austria is also a possibility.

      Very cute and Whimsey!

      thank you Rockbat, Kyra, Jeneric, OlofZ, and shareurpassion! i think it is Norwegian. i found lots of pics of similar ones [although not as nice as this one] marked 'Scandinavian' or 'Norwegian'.

      Squirrel nutcrackers probably from what was Yugoslavia ... or so I have been told. I have some too bought at a collectors fair
