Richard Glasser German Incense Burner Fisherman Handmade in Germany Wooden

A traditional German incense burner, known as a Räuchermann or German smoker, crafted by Richard Glässer GmbH. These are decorative, handcrafted wooden figures designed to hold a burning incense cone, allowing smoke to emerge from the figure's mouth or pipe. This specific smoker is a fisherman figure, complete with a fishing rod, fish, and a net. German smokers are a centuries-old tradition originating from the Ore Mountains (Erzgebirge) region of Germany. They typically depict everyday working people, such as miners, woodsmen, and farmers, rather than famous figures. The figure separates at the waist to place an incense cone inside. They are popular decorative items, especially during the Christmas season, adding a traditional and aromatic touch to homes.
