Nutcrackers & Smokers
Nutcrackers
Nutcrackers have been made in the Ore Mountains since the 18th century. Their bitingly grim portrayal is intended to reflect the authorities. Because that's how the nobility had to work for the common people - cracking nuts.
Over the course of time, the Ore Mountain nutcracker developed more and more into a purely decorative figure, although its functionality is still there. In addition to kings, hussars and soldiers, there is nowadays a wide range of enchanting motifs.
Our passion for bringing wood to life has already won over many enthusiasts. As a result, a number of Ulbricht nutcrackers adorn the living rooms of keen collectors.

How it`s made nutcrackers:
Smokers
The first smokers appeared shortly after the nutcrackers. By contrast, motifs from the common people were chosen here. In the beginning, mostly manual trades were depicted. The smoking man represented the labouring population. After the work was done, there was time to enjoy a pipe and round off the evening in a convivial atmosphere.
Today, they are available in different sizes, designs and an impressive variety of motifs.
One thing however, has remained the same: They provide cosiness and a wonderful atmosphere. Because the many different scents of the incense candles will quickly warm your heart.
