The “Nurse” incense smoker from Franz Karl is part of the popular series of working smokers and is a loving homage to the nursing profession. With great craftsmanship and an eye for detail, the artisans create a figure that is not only decorative but also tells a story.
The nurse stands firmly on a round, gray base, making her appear particularly stable. She wears a traditional uniform consisting of a pink top with two black buttons, combined with a cream-colored skirt. She also wears blue shoes that perfectly match the color of the glass on the tray. On her head sits a white nurse’s cap adorned with a red cross – a classic symbol of care and assistance. She also wears gold earrings that add a subtle touch of elegance to her appearance.
In her right hand, she holds a tray containing several items: a blue glass of water, a white medicine box labeled “PILLS,” and three individually placed white pills. These carefully crafted elements underscore the figure’s caring nature. In her left hand, she tucks an x-ray image under her arm, showing a bone structure. This demonstrates that she is not only a nurse, but also possesses medical expertise.
Her face appears lively and friendly. She has rosy cheeks, fine eyebrows, and an open mouth, from which smoke later rises. As soon as an incense cone burns inside, the smoke escapes through the open mouth – typical of incense figures from the Ore Mountains.
With this figure, the Franz Karl company combines tradition and appreciation for an important profession. Combining functionality, attention to detail, and symbolic significance, the “Nurse” incense smoker is suitable not only as a Christmas decoration, but also as a thoughtful gift for people in the healthcare sector. She brings warmth, respect, and a piece of Ore Mountain craftsmanship to every home.
In our range you will find many beautiful smokers from Franz Karl and other manufacturers from the Ore Mountains.
