Räuchermännchen, or Little Smoking Man as would be the literal translation, is a little incense burner. Räuchermännchen have been around since the mid 1800s and are an essential accessory to give your house that special festive smell.

Ruprecht is a companion of Saint Nicholas as described in the folklore of Germany. He is the most popular gift-bringing character in Germany after Saint Nicholas, Christkind, and Der Weihnachtsmann but to the untrained eye just pretend he's a Santa!! 

A little incense cone is lit up and placed in the hollowed out body of the Räuchermännchen, the smoke then escapes through the mouth.

Please note that this is a miniature version and requires miniature Incense Cones. Your smoker comes with 2 packets of miniature incense cones.

Hand-made in Germany in the Erzgebirge (Ore Mountains) from painted wood. 

11.5cm tall

PLEASE NOTE: Not suitable for children under the age of three.
