Smoker Snowman and Rabbit, natural

This smoker snowman and rabbit, natural is another beautiful smoker from the Wolf woodturning workshop. They are made by hand and with great attention to detail in the Ore Mountains.

The smoker snowman with rabbit is an artistic and cheeky masterpiece made of natural wood. The unique grain of the wood makes each snowman unique. The snowman consists of three classically stacked balls that form his body. Black coal buttons adorn his belly and ensure a traditional look. His eyes are also made of small coal buttons, which give him a friendly expression.

The snowman wears a bright blue scarf around his neck, which adds a colorful accent. In his right hand he holds a broom made of wood and straw, which completes his typical snowman outfit. His nose consists of a bright orange carrot that sits firmly in the middle ball. An elegant black top hat sits on his head, which makes him look particularly classy. In his mouth, as is typical for a smoker, he carries a small pipe.

Next to the snowman stands a cheeky brown rabbit, creating a humorous scene. The rabbit balances on a blue bucket filled with black coal. He stretches up, stretches out and snaps at the snowman’s carrot nose. This mischievous gesture of the rabbit brings life and humor to the depiction. The position of the rabbit, with its pricked ears and lively eyes, gives the scene dynamism.

This smoker exudes a wintry, cheerful atmosphere through its design. The natural colors and the playful interaction between snowman and rabbit make it a special piece of jewelry. At the same time, it tells a story of humor and creativity that fits perfectly with the Christmas season.

Tradition of the night watchman:
The tradition of the night watchman has a long history in many European cities. Originally, the night watchman was an indispensable figure who ensured order and security in the narrow streets of the cities at night. In the Middle Ages and early modern times, the streets were mostly unlit and dangerous. Residents often lived in constant fear of attacks, fires and riots. This is where the night watchman came into play: he patrolled in the dark and kept an eye out for danger.

The night watchman often carried a lantern, a halberd or another long stick for defense. His uniform usually consisted of sturdy, often dark clothing that protected him from the cold. A distinctive headgear or a special cap marked him as an official and made him recognizable even in the dark. His equipment served not only for defense, but also for signaling – he could sound the alarm with a horn or whistle in case of danger.

One of the night watchman’s duties was to call out every hour and announce the time. He often sang verses or shouted fixed sayings to keep the citizens informed and at the same time to monitor the peace and quiet at night. He also made sure that no open fires were left behind that could start a fire. The call of the night watchman was a sign of security for the residents. His presence gave them a feeling of calm and reliability.

Today, night watchmen have disappeared in most cities, but the tradition lives on. Many places offer tours with night watchmen who, in historical costumes, tell the old stories and legends of their city. This figure attracts tourists and locals alike, especially during Advent and at city festivals. In this way, the memory of the tradition of the night watchman remains alive and reminds us how important security and cohesion were in earlier times.
