Sir S’more

Orville Wilson and his family enjoy celebrating the holidays with lots of different Christmas trees, each featuring a unique theme (there is a “Santa” tree, an “angel” tree, a “treat” tree, and several others). He also likes exploring lots of different subjects and design styles in his work as a Keepsake Artist. Lucky for fans, that love of variety means that it is always easy to find the perfect “Orville” ornament for any tree, no matter the theme.

Artist Insights: 2023 Noble Nutcrackers Special Edition

If you’re a fan of nutcrackers (and who isn’t?) then 2023 is your year! There are three Noble Nutcrackers coming: two in October and, in July, the king of them all—a special edition created to celebrate the 50th anniversary of Keepsake Ornaments!

Terri Steiger, creator of the Noble Nutcrackers series, explains what’s behind the royal details of this design.

“This is a really traditional nutcracker, and I thought creating it in porcelain would be perfect for a 50th anniversary celebration. And since the series is named Noble Nutcrackers, I feel like he is the king of all the other nutcrackers because of his regal, classic and nostalgic look.

“When I started this series, I was able to go to Leavenworth, Washington, which is a Bavarian-styled village that has a huge nutcracker museum. They have thousands of nutcrackers, and I was inspired by centuries-old classic designs, as well as so many others.

“Some of the earliest of those nutcrackers had the look of a soldier. For this design, I wanted to make him more royal and deviate from the classic soldier hat. I guess you could say he’s a bit reminiscent of the nutcracker king in the ballet.”

This king certainly represents all the noble qualities of strength and power that folklore describes. And with a Christmas tree topping his scepter, he’s bringing plenty of holiday spirit, too. You can pick up his royal highness at Ornament Premiere in July—we can’t wait to see you there!

“This is the Duke of Winter, number three in my Nutcracker series. I’m real happy with how he came out, he’s got a little snow globe on the top of his head with a snowflake inside and I just think about the magic of Winter when the snows falling and I remember as a kid I always wish that I could just save a snowflake. So that’s kind of my ode to that. And he’s standing on an icy snowflake, and he’s holding a staff in his hand, which kind of is a nod to him reining over ice and snow, and his coat, these are actually some design elements that I looked through the Hallmark archive series for some artwork, and I liked them because they give a nod to trees. All the nutcrackers in this series, own their own domain, So this is the owner of ice and snow and Winter. Hopefully, when you take the Duke out of the box, you’ll be whisked away to that magical snowy, icy Winter wonderland that we all love.”
