Ore Mountains Folk Art Richard Glässer GmbH
Mr. Richard Glässer always made sure that the individual products were made in the best quality, that the figures received a friendly appearance, and remained affordable for the buyer. Naturally, everything, as is typical for Seiffen, was based on turned shapes. For Christmas pyramids and candle holders, figures from the Christian Christmas story, from fairy tales and children's books, but also miners according to our mining tradition, were created.
The company Glässer developed into the most important pyramid manufacturer. The blue pyramids with celestial arches, the Advent houses and the hexagonal and octagonal step pyramids are known worldwide. The company Glässer supplemented the Seiffener Christmas decorations product range with the music box range. The natural wooden music box with the birth of the Christ child under the manger roof and the two palm trees is one of the oldest and most beautiful. Its wheel rotates with the figures to the tune 'Silent Night, Holy Night..., made to sound by the large Swiss musical mechanism.
