A wooden nutcracker with a lion's face wears a golden crown adorned with a star, rendered in warm cream tones against a jewel-toned teal background scattered with silver stars. The figure has rosy cheeks, almond-shaped eyes, and a structured jaw typical of traditional nutcracker artwork, dressed in deep blue clothing with decorative cross-hatching, creating a folk-art interpretation with geometric precision. Printed on premium ceramic and made to order, dishwasher and microwave safe, with the artwork wrapping a full 360 degrees. The first cup of the day carrying an artist's point of view instead of a logo.
