Garden Gnomes – Group “Card Players”

Traditional Craftsmanship from Germany – Since 1874 in Gräfenroda

Since 1874, Zwergstatt Gräfenroda has been known for authentic Thuringian craftsmanship. Today, it is the last traditional garden gnome manufactory in the world. The “Card Players” group is carefully made from high-quality German clay and fired at 1922°F (1050°C). This ensures durability and a long lifespan. Each figure is then hand-painted with precision, bringing out the finest details. This process makes every piece unique and full of character.
