Schiaccianoci From Ichendorf Milano

Step into a world of festive elegance with the Schiaccianoci collection. Designed by Alessandra Baldereschi, each piece is a hand-crafted work of art—flame-worked glass shaped into enchanting forms that evoke the charm of holiday tales, from nutcrackers and gingerbread figures to candy and toy motifs. 

Key Features

• Artistry & Hand-crafting: Created with flame-working techniques, every piece bears subtle variations that affirm its handmade nature. 

• Festive Design: With motifs like gingerbread men, rocking horses, candy shapes, and tree ornaments, the collection brings playful sophistication to your table or décor. 

• Quality Glass Construction: The pieces are made from glass (often borosilicate for durability) and finished with precision—blending utility with decorative flair. 

• Practical Care: Despite the artistic detailing, the collection is designed for use. Items are labeled “Dishwasher safe at low temperatures (40°C recommended).

Why It Stands Out
This collection merges the world of fine glassmaking with whimsical storytelling. Where typical glassware offers simple function, the Schiaccianoci line extends to an experience: you’re not just drinking from a glass—you’re part of a holiday scene. The design’s festive spirit makes it perfect for seasonal hosting, gift-giving, or adding a touch of joy to everyday moments.

Usage Recommendations

• Ideal for festive occasions, holiday dinners, or as a decorative accent when not in active use.

• Because each piece is handmade and includes delicate detailing, while it is dishwasher safe, using a gentle cycle or hand-washing is recommended to preserve its charm.

• Pair with simpler tabletop pieces to let the design shine without visual competition.

Fit For Gift-Giving
If you’re looking for a thoughtful and memorable gift, this collection hits the sweet spot: it’s whimsical yet refined; a design object and a functional item in one. Especially during the holiday season, it has the kind of delight factor that catches attention and delight alike.
