This large Snow Board Girl incense figure comes from Steinbach Volkskunst GmbH, made by traditional handcraft and hand-painted in strong colors.
The “Snowboard Girl” incense figure has a modern, sporty and cheeky look that radiates winter joy. She stands firmly on black shoes and wears bright pink pants that immediately catch the eye. Her top is a purple sweater, decorated with a fine snowflake pattern that sets winter accents and perfectly complements the winter mood.
On her head sits a striking, knitted bobble hat in bright pink, which underlines her youthful appearance. This hat with the large bobble is not only a colorful eye-catcher, but also gives the figure a cozy, wintery charm.
The Snowboard Girl’s face looks cheeky and friendly at the same time. She has bright eyes that shine with vitality and rosy cheeks that give her a healthy appearance. Her small snub nose reinforces her cute expression. Two blonde braided pigtails made of soft synthetic hair and lovingly designed peek out from under the hat. These details give the figure a touch of naturalness and make it even more likeable.
In her hand she proudly holds her snowboard, ready for any adventure in the snow. The snowboard itself has a modern design and underlines the figure’s sporty charisma. It seems as if she is always ready to conquer the slopes and enjoy winter to the fullest.
The “Snowboard Girl” is a wonderful, lovingly designed incense figure that embodies modern winter fun. With her cheeky appearance and detailed accessories, she brings a touch of joie de vivre and winter freshness into every home and is a highlight in every collection.

Tradition of the smoker:
The tradition of the smoker comes from the Ore Mountains, a region known for its rich wood resources and artistic craftsmanship. These figurative smokers, which are typically made of wood, originated in the 19th century and have been an integral part of Christmas culture in Germany ever since.
The origin of the smokers goes back to the miners of the Ore Mountains, who were looking for new sources of income in winter due to the long periods of darkness and the lack of work in mining. So they began to make smokers, in addition to nutcrackers and Christmas pyramids. These figures have a hollow construction in which a small incense candle insert is placed. When the incense candle is lit, the smoke rises through the man’s open mouth or pipe, which makes the smoker appear “alive”.
In their design, smokers often represent traditional professions or symbolic figures, such as the miner, the forester, the hunter or Santa Claus. The miner is a particularly popular figure because he reflects the history and roots of the region. The figures are often richly decorated and carry typical attributes of their profession, such as tools, lanterns or pipes.
The tradition of the smoker has developed greatly over the years. While they were originally simple representations of craftsmen and everyday people, there is now a wide variety of figures. From traditional representations to modern interpretations, they are popular collector’s items and gifts.
Smokers are part of many German households at Christmas time and contribute to the contemplative atmosphere by not only being artfully crafted, but also by spreading the typical scent of incense that is reminiscent of cozy winter evenings.
