Nice older German Christmas decoration incense burner shaped as a house or cottage. Its in decent used condition with one repair, the chimney was glued back on slightly out of place. You may want to move the chimney back if you want to use it. It is vintage but postwar. In good condition with just a nice old patina. It is a mix of hand painting and decals. Comes with a small bag of mixed scent incense cones (Weihnachtsduft, etc.)
Räuchermännchen are a very old German knick-knack tradition that dates back to around the mid 1800's. They originated in the Erzgebirge, but have spread throughout Germany and are now a staple of German Christmas markets. These were made in the same region where many WHW items were produced. This region was known for many crafts, mostly made from wood. They are essentially a kitschy incense burner, with the smoke coming out his mouth. Never compete with the Germans for cute doo-dads. All of the energy they save on humor goes into this field.
