Opera Haus Incense Burners

Fragrant aromas have been important to mankind for thousands of years. Incense was the gift of kings, as valuable as gold and gems. In 19th century Germany incense was burned in all rooms of a home on Christmas and New Year's Eve. This symbolized the driving off of evil and protected the home from misfortune. Today incense is still a part of holiday pageantry and German
folk customs.

Once the incense is lit, a delightful swirl of fragrant smoke escapes from the figure's wide open mouth. In these operatic themed pieces the swirl of smoke is suggestive of singing.

This collectible is a genuine hand-crafted smoker from the Erzgebirge region of
Eastern Germany — a region famous for its ‘smokers’ and nutcrackers.
