Since the 18th century, talented Erzgebirge
artisans have created these beautiful handmade items in small village workshops
(generally
family-owned businesses) busily fashioning intricate toys and holiday decorations.
One of the most popular
makers of the smoker man is the Erzgebirge firm of KWO located in Olbernhau,
Germany.
Beginning many years ago as a small craftsman's business, today KWO is
one of the leading firms in the production of traditional handmade smoker
men. For many decades enthusiastic collectors all over
the world have enjoyed the high quality of exclusive design and love of
detail that characterize the KWO creations. It was thought that the aromatic
incense brought good fortune and blessing to the home and kept away evil
spirits. No German home would be complete without at least one smoker!
Two Hundred intricately detailed smoker men make up
the KWO collection. They depict the trades, the professions, hobbies
and just plain fun filled characters. Their whimsical expressions seem
to come to life as they "smoke" the aromatic German Incense, enveloping
the room with the rich scent of a fireplace burning whether you have
one or not! Browse through some of them here on our web site. Enjoy!
