Individual family workshops and toy collectives were not allowed to export their goods freely to Western countries like the United States or the UK. Instead, the Communist government grouped these artisans together and put the expertic logo on the boxes and labels to market them globally as certified German folk art. This piece would have been from the late 1960s to 1989 and was handcrafted in the Erzgebirge region of East Germany. Please know the blades of the windmill have scorch marks on them in some areas and the blades come off and on that can be put back on but they do come unattached. I would not want to glue them because it might mess up the weight and interfere with the spinning action that happens when you have the heat from the candles moving it. The piece does not come with the candles that fit into it. Also, the carolers have spots on their back for angels wings but these have no wings. It is 9 in high and 8 in across. The brass candle holders have some oxidation and there are areas of wear on the wooden platform. This is truly a great piece of History, an item that actually crossed the” iron curtain” And made it to the United States. And I hope now it will be preserved. So that many that generations of children can learn the same lessons in history as families begin to put out their favorite holiday decorations.

This product is a rare set of antique German mirror image incense burners from the late 1800s, specifically from the Sitzendorf factory. The intricate design and craftsmanship of these pieces make them a unique and valuable addition to any antique collection or decor. The incense burners combined offer a blend of functionality and aesthetics, showcasing the elegance and quality of antique German craftsmanship. Not Japan or Dresden. They are not identical, they are mirror images of each other, probably meant for a mantel originally.
