About the candle holders
Estrid Ericson found the models for the Happy and Grumpy candle holders and then created her own versions. During the 1950–1970s, they were hand-painted by the store staff and then sold on Strandvägen 5 in Stockholm. For Christmas 2024, the candle holders are painted by hand at Porslinsfabriken (The Porcelain Factory) in Lidköping.
The craftsmanship at Porslinsfabriken
It takes at least two weeks to produce one of the candle holders at Porslinsfabriken (The Porcelain Factory) in Lidköping. The entire factory is involved in the various steps, from casting to hand-painting.
