Otto with a Stack of Presents is an enchanting figurine from the traditional workshop of the Hobler company in picturesque Grünhainichen. This village, known far beyond the borders of Saxony as the “Village of Angels,” represents the highest level of craftsmanship. Crafted with great attention to detail and using traditional handcrafting techniques, Otto embodies the fine art of Erzgebirge handicrafts and brings festive joy to every home.
As a special trademark, each Hobler figurine bears a small silver heart on its left foot. This loving detail symbolizes the care and dedication that goes into each creation and makes the figurines unique. The Otto with a Stack of Presents figurine was painted with fresh, vibrant colors, radiating a wintry atmosphere and a palpable warmth of heart.
Otto is an extremely elegant snowman, perfectly dressed for Christmas with his stylish gray top hat and warm red scarf. But what makes him special is the large stack of presents that he skillfully balances with his hands. This humorous and charming detail gives the figure a lively and cheerful charisma that brings a smile to every viewer.
Together with his friend Fritz, Otto forms an enchanting snowman duo that brightens up any room and creates an inviting winter atmosphere. The figures are not only decorative but also make excellent heartfelt gift ideas for young and old.
By combining tradition, creativity, and masterful craftsmanship, Otto and his stack of gifts become a unique piece that brings the magic of the Ore Mountains to the world, conveying a special message of joy and warmth.
