The natural woodland gnome ball smoking figure from Seiffener Volkskunst eG represents a charming example of modern Erzgebirge craftsmanship. The 19 cm tall figure combines traditional smoker design with a loving, minimalist design. In contrast to the colorful smokers, this woodland gnome captivates with the natural beauty of the wood.
Its body consists of two solid wooden balls, giving it a round and friendly stature. The upper, smaller part forms the head, while the lower, larger part represents the body. The wood is left natural and displays its vibrant grain, giving each figure its own individual character. Small, round hands are suggested on its sides, which the gnome appears to be resting on its belly. The feet consist of two flat, round discs that give it a secure footing.
A special feature is its beard and eyebrows made of light fur, which contrast with the untreated wood and give the gnome a mischievous appearance. The distinctive, long pipe he holds in his hand is a typical detail for smokers and lends him a traditional touch. A tall, gray pointed cap made of coarse jute fabric completes his appearance, humorously elongating his figure.
As a spherical smoker, the gnome is functional because his body can be removed from the small platform and filled with incense cones. The rising smoke then escapes from the pipe, releasing a pleasant fragrance. With its timeless, natural design, the forest gnome is an asset to any Christmas decoration and an expression of the high craftsmanship from the heart of the Ore Mountains.
