Burkhard, holding a loaf of bread in his hands, almost exudes the scent of freshly baked bread – a true delight for the senses, even though the bread itself is not edible.
The unique hand-shaped beard technique, exclusively practiced in Gräfenroda, gives Burkhard his unmistakable charm. Every inch of this beautiful garden gnome is a masterpiece of craftsmanship, made from high-quality clay and carefully hand-sculpted. The raw materials are sourced from Germany and selected with the utmost care.
After being lovingly crafted in six individual parts, Burkhard undergoes a firing process at 1922°F (1050°C) to ensure his durability and quality. This long-standing tradition dates back to the founding of the renowned Philipp Griebel manufactory in 1874 in Gräfenroda, Thuringia.
Each brushstroke on Burkhard is applied by hand. This model was originally designed around 1900 in Gräfenroda, embodying the timeless beauty and elegance of that era.
Burkhard is not just an eye-catcher for both indoor and outdoor spaces, but also a symbol of quality, craftsmanship, and tradition. Bring a touch of nostalgia and elegance to your home or garden with this charming garden gnome – Burkhard is sure to attract admiration!
