This charming incense smoker, a woodland gnome, comes from the Christian Ulbricht workshop and is a prime example of Erzgebirge craftsmanship. Handcrafted with meticulous detail, it stands securely on a light, round base of natural wood, lending it a down-to-earth and nature-inspired charm.
The gnome’s face is friendly, instantly evoking a cozy forest atmosphere. His small, black eyes gaze brightly at the world, while his rosy cheeks and mischievous smile emphasize his liveliness. As is typical of classic Ulbricht incense smokers, his white, shaggy hair and long, fluffy beard give him a wild yet endearing appearance. He wears a distinctive, wide-brimmed green hat adorned with a rustic hemp rope and a decorative pine cone – a true woodsman through and through.
His body is crafted from smooth wood in a rich forest green, perfectly complementing his nature-loving appearance. He proudly carries the essentials of every mushroom hunter: In one hand, he firmly grasps a wooden walking stick, adorned with an artfully turned mushroom at the tip and additional wooden beads – a true eye-catcher. In the other, he carries a brimming wooden basket, richly filled with the treasures of the forest: a bright red fly agaric with white spots, a fir branch, a dark red berry, and an acorn peek out curiously.
His short legs and sturdy, dark brown shoes ensure stability and complete the harmonious overall look. Beyond its decorative function, this woodsman is a genuine incense smoker: Inside, a small incense cone is placed, the smoke rising from his open mouth and thus bringing the figure to life in the traditional way. This woodsman combines Erzgebirge tradition with a humorous, nature-inspired design and is an ideal gift for nature lovers, mushroom hunters, and connoisseurs of high-quality wooden art.
Here you will find more beautiful incense figures from Christian Ulbricht as well as from other manufacturers from the Erzgebirge.
