Wooden Ornaments
|
From the Erzgebirge region of Germany, known for
the production of nutcrackers and smokers, come these
miniature turned wooden ornaments. Seiffen and the
smaller villages nearby have been the home of
Pyramids, Smokers, Nutcrackers, and many other
delightful, hand-painted wooden Christmas items.
Most of the wooden ornaments shown on these
pages have been produced by the well known firms of
Christian Ulbricht & Christian Steinbach
but some have been carefully crafted by much smaller
home cottage businesses in the Ore Mountain region.
