Traditional German charm with the Incense Smoker carrying ore with a bucket, 26 cm, by DWU Drechselwerkstatt Uhlig

A characterful ore carrier with distinctive details

The Incense-burning figurine carrying ore with a bucket, 26 cm, by DWU Drechselwerkstatt Uhlig brings the historic mining heritage of Germany’s Erzgebirge region into your home. The imposing figure wears a tall, pointed brown hat decorated with small branches, cones, red berries and green elements. Beneath the hat, large eyes and a prominent wooden nose create a friendly expression. Particularly striking is the full, natural-looking beard, which frames the face and gives this traditional German incense smoker its wonderfully rustic character.

The ore carrier holds carefully designed working accessories in both hands. A brown wooden bucket is filled with small stones in different colours, representing the valuable ore associated with the region’s mining history. In his other hand, he carries a small lantern. Black boots and light-coloured workwear with warm brown details complete his appearance. The round natural wooden base is decorated with a stone, delicate branches and bright red berries, echoing the ornaments on his unusual hat.
