This natural miner incense smoker is lovingly and traditionally handcrafted by the Friedbert Uhlig woodturning workshop. Natural incense smokers and miniatures with unusual motifs are the hallmark of the Leubsdorf-based Uhlig company.
To preserve the wood grain, the smokers are simply varnished and stained, making each figure unique in its own way, and you will always receive a one-of-a-kind piece.
The miner incense smoker impresses with its robust appearance and traditional design, which is deeply rooted in mining culture. It stands firmly on a natural wooden base, on which the words “Glück auf” (Good luck) are emblazoned in black lettering. This inscription refers to the typical miners’ greeting and underscores its professional identity. Its body is finished in a natural wood tone, with the beautiful grain emphasizing the high-quality craftsmanship.
The miner wears a brown hat decorated with crossed hammers, a symbol of mining. In his left hand, he proudly holds a silver pickaxe attached to a long wooden handle, representing the hard work in the mines. His left hand holds a shovel full of ore, illustrating his professional activity.
Gold-colored buttons adorn the front of his coat, adding a touch of sophistication. He carries a traditional miner’s lamp on his belly. His face appears attentive and concentrated; with a pipe in his mouth, he demonstrates the traditional character of a smoker. The hand-painted details, such as his eyebrows and mustache, lend him personality and charm.
With his striking combination of tools, ore tray, and traditional clothing, the miner embodies the values of hard work and dedication to working underground. This figurine enriches any collection with its authenticity and distinctive style.
Note: Wood is a natural product, and no two pieces are alike. Therefore, the grain of the smoker may vary from item to item; this is not a reason for complaint.
