The Plum Man incense smoker – in various colors – is a lovingly crafted figure reminiscent of an old Dresden Christmas tradition. The Plum Man is particularly well-known from the famous Dresden Striezelmarkt (Christmas market). There, it has been a fixture of the Christmas season for many years and is therefore a beloved symbol of the traditional Christmas market.
The black Plum Man incense smoker wears a tall top hat and a simple dark blue robe. A small gold-colored clasp on his belt adds a subtle touch. His face, with its rosy cheeks and open mouth, gives him a distinctive expression.
Furthermore, his outstretched arms and dark legs complete his characteristic figure. The Plum Man stands on a rectangular wooden base, ensuring a secure and decorative display.
The Plum Man also has an interesting history. As early as 1800, small figures made from prunes were sold in Dresden. These were offered at the Christmas market by the so-called “Striezelkinder” (Striezel children). Their appearance was reminiscent of chimney sweeps. Over time, the Plum Man became a popular good luck charm.
As a result, he eventually became an integral part of Dresden’s Christmas tradition.
The Plum Man also creates a cozy atmosphere as an incense smoker. Simply place a lit incense cone inside, and smoke will rise from his mouth. At the same time, the chosen fragrance will fill the room. This is precisely why the incense smoker is so cherished: it combines traditional craftsmanship with a special Christmas story.
