Crafted by the Kuhnert woodturning workshop, “Max the Sailor” incense smoker is a prime example of traditional craftsmanship. Every detail of the figure reflects the exceptional skill and care invested in its creation.
Max features a rounded, compact shape. The natural grain of the light-lacquered wood is clearly visible, lending him an air that is both maritime and elegant. His round belly is adorned with silver buttons, adding a charming and slightly humorous touch.
In one hand, Max proudly holds a sailor’s pipe with a golden mouthpiece. In the other, he carries a white rope attached to a dark wooden anchor—a classic nautical symbol that perfectly underscores his maritime character. He wears a black sailor’s neckerchief that drapes loosely over his white jacket, while a blue-and-white sailor’s cap harmoniously completes his look.
Max’s friendly face—featuring expressive eyes, rosy cheeks, and a distinctive bulbous nose—radiates a welcoming warmth. It is no wonder he is known as “the smiling incense smoker”; his stylish mustache and cheerful expression give him a unique personality, making the figure appear remarkably lifelike.
A special feature of Max is his functionality as an incense smoker. His upper body separates easily from the base, creating space for size M incense cones. When the cone is lit, Max not only displays his decorative charm but also fills the room with a pleasant fragrance, making him a true highlight in any home.
The combination of traditional craftsmanship, decorative design, and practical function makes this incense smoker a treasured piece that delights both the eyes and the senses.
Note: Wood is a natural product, and no two pieces are alike. Consequently, the grain pattern may vary from item to item; this does not constitute grounds for a complaint.
