This handmade German incense smoker features a cheerful pizza chef who looks ready to pull the next pie straight out of the oven. Dressed in his tall chef’s hat with apron tied on, he’s holding a fresh pizza in one hand and a wooden pizza peel in the other — clearly proud of today’s special.
Place a small incense cone inside, light it, and soon a curl of smoke will drift from his mouth as if he’s standing in the kitchen enjoying the aroma of a perfectly baked pizza.
Little details like the toppings on the pizza, the long mustache, and the classic chef’s outfit give this figure plenty of personality. It looks like he’s just about to slide another pizza into the oven.
Figures like this come from the Erzgebirge region of Germany, where wooden incense smokers have been crafted for generations using traditional techniques. Each one is assembled and finished by hand, giving the character its own little personality.
He fits right in on a kitchen shelf, a holiday display, or anywhere that could use a little extra character — and maybe a reminder that it’s always a good time for pizza. Incense cones are not included.
