The “Scotsman” incense smoker, crafted by the renowned Richard Glässer company, is a prime example of fine craftsmanship. Every detail of this figure reflects the high level of skill and care invested in its creation.
The Scotsman wears a traditional jacket in a warm shade of brown and a classic plaid kilt in vibrant red, featuring green, blue, and gold stripes—an authentic tartan pattern that gives him a genuine, festive look. He also wears white knee-high socks and black shoes, perfectly rounding off his stylish appearance.
Atop his head sits a classic Scottish Balmoral bonnet—black with a red pom-pom and brown trim. His friendly face, with expressive eyes, rosy cheeks, and a distinctive brown mustache, radiates a welcoming warmth. His wide-open mouth suggests he is right in the middle of singing a spirited Scottish song.
He proudly holds his bagpipes—featuring a dark felt bag, multiple pipes, and a colorful tassel—leaving no doubt that authentic Scottish music is about to ring out. A small crest on his sporran completes the traditional ensemble.
A special feature of this figure is its functionality as an incense smoker. The upper body separates easily from the base to accommodate an incense cone. When the cone is lit, the Scotsman not only adds decorative charm but also fills the room with a pleasant fragrance. This makes him a true highlight for any home and a wonderful collector’s item for enthusiasts of international incense traditions.
