Forest Gnome Cat Lover

Forest Gnome Cat Lover

This charming Forest Gnome Cat Lover incense smoker captures the peaceful spirit of woodland life and traditional craftsmanship. Dressed in natural earth tones, the friendly gnome features a detailed faux fur beard, rustic hat decorated with forest accents, and classic wooden boots. In his hands, he lovingly carries a small jar and a feeding spoon while caring for his beloved woodland cats.

The scene is beautifully decorated with handcrafted pine trees, tiny mushrooms, moss, berries, and a playful cat resting on a scratching post beside a curious little mouse. Every detail adds warmth and storytelling charm, making this figure a delightful centerpiece for nature lovers and cat enthusiasts alike.

Designed in the tradition of German incense smokers, the fragrant smoke gently rises through the gnome’s mouth when used with standard incense cones, creating a cozy and inviting atmosphere during the Christmas season or throughout the year.

Forest Gnome Cat Lover - Handmade by Drechselwerkstatt Uhlig, Germany

For many years, our family has been associated with the traditional art of turning and carving in the Ore Mountains. In 1990 we turned our hobby into a profession and founded our family business, which became a registered craft business in 1993. Just four years later, the old production facility had become too small. We moved to a new building and expanded the range of services.

Committed to tradition, we are inspired by our homeland, the beautiful Ore Mountains. This is how the idea of our gnomes came about, which is characterized by their special beard design made of natural fur. Therefore, each incense smoker is different and has a unique appearance.

We make our distinctive incense smokers from local woods such as pine, ash, and beech. By incorporating natural materials such as cones, branches, moss, berries and felt, we give our gnomes a traditional look. You can usually recognize the real Uhlig smoker gnomes by the special shape of their beards. We always try to preserve the natural structure of the wood, even using parts with a colored design.

We are also happy to fulfill your individual wishes. Take your time and experience a piece of unmistakable Erzgebirge tradition and craftsmanship.
