This specific figurine represents a Hausfrau (housewife) or cook holding a teapot.
Key Details & Origin: Handcrafted in the Erzgebirge (Ore Mountains) region of Saxony, Germany.
Manufacturer: Produced under the brand Franz Karl (VFK / Franz Karl GmbH - Venusberg). It is also distributed by prominent seasonal retailers like Käthe Wohlfahrt.
How It Works: The wooden body separates into two halves. An ignited incense cone is placed inside the base, allowing smoke to rise and billow realistically from the spout of the teapot.
Design Features: Features a traditional white blouse, a bold red skirt, and a painted apron decorated with a classic blue floral pattern. The paper tag reads "Echt Erzgebirge Holzkunst mit Herz" (Authentic Ore Mountain Wood Art with Heart), certifying its genuine regional origin.
This piece does show a few paint issues but over all in great condition! Tag still attached. Never used.
