Vintage Smoker Incense Burner THE MUSHROOM FORAGER German Folk Art Erzgebirge Epertic Wood Christmas Decor Germany

Large good quality German wood smoker "The Mushroom Forager" cone incense burner with lots of detail. Popular at Christmas or anytime these folk art figurines are handmade in Germany of mixed woods & material. This is a functioning smoker which comes apart so you can insert cone incense and then the "smoke" comes out his mouth. It features a man in traditional dress holding a basket with mushrooms in one hand and a walking stick in the other and "smoking" a pipe. A nice feature of this piece is the staff and basket are separate pieces which makes it easier & safer to store. These are traditional German Christmas decorations made in the Erzgebirge region (a mountain range on the border between Germany and the Czech Republic.) It is not stamped but identified by the base style, it probably had a paper label originally. Size: 8" h x 4.5" w x 4" d Condition*: I am not seeing any defects, excellent condition.
