A vintage novelty nutcracker set featuring a bespectacled monkey dressed in a red beret, neck scarf and apron. The ceramic monkey serves as both a storage holder and display piece, accompanied by its original wooden screw-action nutcracker and metal nutcracker tool. Both nutcrackers can be stored with the monkey when not in use. The kitsch design and humorous character styling are typical of the playful kitchen and dining accessories popular during the 1970s.
Originally these sets included cocktail picks or olive forks stored in the holes at the rear; these are no longer present. Despite this, the set remains a functional example of vintage novelty tableware.
