Ichendorf Schiaccianoci stemmed glass little soldier

Few stories are as strongly tied to Christmas as the Nutcracker, and the Ichendorf Schiaccianoci Goblet with Soldier, designed by Alessandra Baldereschi x Ichendorf collection, brings this tradition to life in a unique way. Entirely handmade in borosilicate glass, the goblet is light, resistant, and designed for both everyday use and festive occasions and a complete Christmas table. At its heart rests a small soldier figurine, shaped with precision and imagination, embodying the magic of the ballet and the charm of holiday tales.

A theatrical collection

Part of the Schiaccianoci collection, inspired by the famous Nutcracker ballet, this Ichendorf goblet transforms the table into a stage. The soldier, guardian of tradition and symbol of strength, becomes an integral part of the dining ritual. Artisans craft each figurine through lampworking, a delicate process that ensures subtle differences between pieces. These variations make every glass one-of-a-kind, much like a performance that can never be repeated exactly the same way. A refined addition to Tableware, it combines functionality and storytelling.

For festive tables and beyond

The Schiaccianoci Goblet lends itself beautifully to wine, cocktails, or sparkling water, turning ordinary moments into celebratory gestures. It can be enjoyed with other products from the Ichendorf Christmas collection, Ichendorf teapots, and other products from the Ichendorf stem glass or goblet collection, creating a coordinated set that tells an entire seasonal story. Imagine a holiday table where each guest holds a glass featuring a different Nutcracker character, or paired with elegant bottles or jugs for a complete festive service.

A collectible keepsake

The Ichendorf Schiaccianoci Goblet is treasured by collectors and design lovers who seek objects that combine function with storytelling. Internationally admired, it stands as more than a glass: it is a keepsake, a piece of narrative design that preserves the spirit of Christmas. Offered as a gift idea, it speaks of elegance, imagination, and craftsmanship, ensuring it will be cherished year after year, long after the music fades but the story remains. Signed by Alessandra Baldereschi, it is a timeless symbol of festive artistry.
