Description
Incense Smoker Christmas Market Vendor
This charming incense smoker “Weihnachtsmarktverkäufer” (Christmas Market Vendor) is a delightful piece of traditional Erzgebirge folk art. Handcrafted from natural wood, the figure captures the cozy atmosphere of a German Christmas market.
The friendly vendor wears a green hat and carries a small display tray filled with miniature treasures — a nutcracker, a snowman, a candle arch, and a little Christmas tree — lovingly detailed to reflect the craftsmanship of the region. With a classic black pipe and rosy cheeks, he embodies the warmth and nostalgia of the holiday season.
When a small incense cone is placed inside, gentle smoke wafts through his mouth, bringing the figure to life and filling the room with a festive scent.
Turnery Kuhnert GmbH
Wood art from the Ore Mountains
More than 30 years of expertise in wood
Along with fretsaws and carving, turning is the most important form of traditional woodworking in Ore Mountain folk art. We are committed to this tradition and continue it with today’s means.
It all began in 1986 with Frieder Kuhnert, who turned his hobby of turning wooden figures with motifs from the Erzgebirge into a profession in a small workshop. Three of his four children continue the turnery and specialize in different areas. The Drechslerei Kuhnert GmbH now has around 100 employees, and the products are exported far beyond Europe, for example to Japan, the USA or Canada.
In addition to preserving tradition, we focus on the highest quality and contemporary design. With this in mind, we always incorporate new materials and innovative processes into the development of our products. By using modern laser technology, for example, we can give our smoke figures different facial expressions.
We use wood from sustainable forestry and show our responsibility towards our basic material wood with our FSC® and PEFC certifications.
