Description: This German gardener handcrafted smoker is in pristine condition! You can pull off his legs, place incense on the little metal plate and put his body back on the legs. Then sit back and enjoy the woody scent of the incense along with the fun of seeing smoke come from his mouth as he holds his pipe in one hand! He carries a removable rake in his other hand. The tray hanging from his neck holds 3 potted plants and some carrots. He also sports a flower in his hat. 7.2” tall, this smoker was crafted by KWO (Kunstgewerbe Werkstätten Olbernhau) in the Erzgebirgsche region of former East Germany. It is one of their collection of “Bearded Ones.” Frequently displayed with nutcrackers, German smokers are often associated with Christmas. Gold, frankincense and myrrh were the 3 gifts the wise men were said to have brought to baby Jesus, and some people burn frankincense in memory of that event. The first smoker was actually made from dough around 1850 in Heidelberg, Germany. Later carved from wood, these beautifully-crafted figures have since become cherished all over the world! We were given this as a gift a few years ago. I chose to describe it as "new, other" because it has never been used and fits e-Bay's description for "new, other" as being "an item in excellent, new condition with no wear."
