Incense Smokers
As an invention of the Erzgebirge wooden toy makers, incense smokers (or "Räuchermännl", "Raachermannl") are an integral part of local folk art and Christmas customs. But this tradition also moves with the times.
In the past, incense smokers were just simple storage containers for incense cones, but today they come in all shapes and sizes! Whether as an incense smoker or incense smoking woman, traditionally or as an embodiment of various professional groups, as smoking mushrooms or smokehouses - the lovingly handcrafted figures will delight you.
Here you will find colored smoking figures, sanded smoking men, traditional smoking men and unusual smoking figures such as smoking mushrooms, smoking ovens, smoking women or smoking houses.
The Franz Karl brand figures are manufactured by us in our workshops in Grünhainichen. The original Franz Karl brand comes from Venusberg. But since 2000 we have been producing these beautiful figures at Blank Kunsthandwerk according to the well-known patterns and in the usual design language.

We have been producing the well-known Franz Karl brand smokers in our blank workshops in Grünhainichen since 2000. We are based on the traditional shapes of the Franz Karl smoke figures, which originated in Venusberg, and develop new motifs every year.
