Christmas Pipe 2012
This Christmas pipe continues the 12-year theme ‘The Nutcracker and the Mouse King’, which began in 2011 and will end in 2022. It is based the characters of the children’s book ‘The Nutcracker and the Mouse King’ by German author Ernst Theodor Amadeus Hoffmann and the famous ballet ‘The Nutcracker’ by Russian composer Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky.
This being the 2nd pipe in the series, it depicts STAHLBAUM’S HOUSE, the family home of the Stahlbaum’s.
The pipe is a very elegant group 4 Brandy (4134) in County finish with polished rim. It features a Sterling Silver band intricately engraved with scrollwork and the image of the Stahlbaum’s House.
The impressive architectural pipe tamper is 60mm long and crafted from solid Sterling Silver. It is inspired by one of the historical town houses still standing on Frankfurt am Main’s famous Römerplatz, the central square where traditionally the annual Christmas market takes place.
The highly collectable White Spot Christmas pipes and tampers are presented in a leather-bound book held in attractive blue & red colours with gold embossing to represent the uniform of the Nutcracker. Each set is accompanied by its numbered limited edition certificate.
This edition series is strictly limited to annually only 300 pipes worldwide.
IMPORTANT
Please note that the allocations to markets will be as per last year (both in quantity of pipes and edition numbers.
