Using this Herend Nutcracker figurine is easy. You can place it on a shelf, mantel, or any display area to add a touch of elegance to your space. It's mainly for decoration, so don't use it for actual nut - cracking. When handling, be gentle as it's made of porcelain and can break easily. To clean, use a soft, dry cloth to dust it regularly. Avoid using any harsh chemicals or abrasive materials as they may damage the hand - painted finish. Store it in a safe place, away from direct sunlight to prevent color fading, especially if you're not displaying it during non - holiday seasons.
