Description

An original, handcrafted wooden Santa Claus incense smoker (Räuchermann) from the workshop of Gotthard Steglich, a master toymaker from Germany's Erzgebirge (Ore Mountains) region. This high-quality piece showcases the natural grain of the wood. The Santa features a textured red coat, carries a bundle of switches, and has a large wooden sack on his back. The top half lifts off to place an incense cone, allowing smoke to exit through Santa's mouth. The base retains its original "Gotthard Steglich" label. The item's measurements are 9" (H) x 5.5" (W) and it is in good condition.
