Lovingly and lavishly designed smoker ore imp Huntsläufer from the Uhlig turning workshop, made in traditional and detailed manual work.
The ore imp from Wichtelberg are hard-working and funny fellows who unearth all sorts of treasures from the earth and mountains. They wear pointed hats which are adorned with various herbs, the shoulders are covered by a felt jacket. The most important thing, however, are the sturdy black boots on your feet with which you won’t lose your footing even on scree or mud and your feet will always stay nice and warm. The only vice of the little guys is smoking a pipe, but this passion is forgiven the hardworking elves. The friendly face with the big eyes is adorned by a long, long beard made of fake fur, which merges seamlessly into the washed head hair that looks out from under the hat.
The ore imp Huntsläufer has just come out of the mine with a hunt full of sparkling ore; after the work is done, he has really earned the pipe in his mouth. Lumps of ore glisten on his pedestal, mushrooms and trees grow.
A hunt is an open, square box which is used to convey the materials in the tunnel.
Deviations in color and grain of the beard and hair are possible, you will always receive a unique piece.
You can find more information on the ore imp series as well as an “Erzgebirgische Wichtelgeschichte” in an extra booklet which is enclosed with every elf, but if you can’t wait for the elf to get there you can read the story in advance.
