  • The first in a series of Nutcracker characters was produced on the classic rim luncheon plate (0465). 
  • The first one was named “The Giver” pattern number 42508 and if you look closely, you can see the nutcracker is “actually composed of Fiesta® dishes. Look closely and you’ll see shoulders are salt and pepper shakers, a hat is made of a vase, boots are made of tumblers, and more! The collection wouldn’t be complete without one of the Nutcrackers holding an iconic Fiesta Large Disk Pitcher.” (courtesy of the Fiesta® Tableware Company blog post 1-11-2023) – illustrated to the left.
