This charming incense burner embodies the Erzgebirge craftsmanship of the Seiffen workshop in a particularly nostalgic style. The figure, named “Udo in a Trabant,” is the official figure of the year for 2026. At the center of the composition sits the friendly wooden figure of Udo in a light blue convertible. The light blue of the little car harmonizes beautifully with the delicate, painted floral patterns that adorn the sides and rear of the body. A silver sign bearing the name “Schorsch” is prominently displayed on the front, giving the car a personal touch.
Udo himself gazes over the windshield with a warm smile and a distinctive black mustache. He wears a light-colored fishing hat and a red and white checkered jacket, beneath which a blue shirt with a light collar peeks out. His hands rest firmly on the black steering wheel as he clearly enjoys the ride. The rounded shape of the body and the detailed painting of the facial features give the figure an exceptionally lifelike character.
The woodturners use only local woods and traditional techniques for its creation. As a classic incense smoker, the object also offers a practical function: the car’s body can be opened and an incense cone placed inside. The aromatic smoke then rises gently from Udo’s mouth, creating a cozy atmosphere in the room. The black wheels with silver hubcaps form a harmonious contrast to the car’s colorful body. This annual figurine thus perfectly combines East German automotive history with the vibrant folk art of the Ore Mountains.
