Experience the Tradition
German incense smokers (Räuchermänner) have been handcrafted in the Erzgebirge (Ore Mountains) for generations. A small incense cone is placed inside the hollow wooden figure, and as it smoulders, fragrant smoke gently curls from the figure's mouth or chimney, bringing it to life. Richard Glässer continues this cherished tradition with beautifully handcrafted smokers that combine timeless Erzgebirge craftsmanship with both classic and contemporary designs, creating decorations to enjoy throughout the Christmas season and for years to come.
