Ulbricht Miniwichtel Night Watchman – Incense Smoker from the Ore Mountains
Handcrafted Ulbricht Miniwichtel Night Watchman – A Touch of Erzgebirge Magic
The Ulbricht Miniwichtel Night Watchman is a lovingly crafted incense smoker from the renowned Miniwichtel series by Christian Ulbricht. Handmade in the historic village of Seiffen in the Ore Mountains, this figure is a fine example of authentic German woodcraft – full of charm, tradition, and skilled artistry.
Whimsical Design and Real Woodcraft
Like all figures in the Ulbricht Miniwichtel collection, this night watchman comes to life with a playful expression and thoughtful details. His twisted, cone-shaped hat, wild white hair, and cheerful face bring instant warmth to any room. In one hand, he holds a lantern made of wood, while in the other, he carries a pointed staff – just like a real watchman from days gone by.
Adding to the character is a small pipe in his mouth, which also serves as the smoke outlet. Simply place a small 15 mm incense cone inside the body, light it, and enjoy the gentle fragrance that rises through the figure’s mouth. It’s a delightful touch that combines visual charm with a festive aroma.
