Candle Holder Grumpy
Happy and Grumpy Candle holders
The charming Happy and Grumpy candle holders come from Svenskt Tenn’s historical archive and are being produced for the centennial Christmas 2024. They are crafted at Porslinsfabriken (The Porcelain Factory) in Lidköping, Sweden.
About the candle holders
Estrid Ericson found the models for the Happy and Grumpy candle holders while on a buying trip in Italy. 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.
Karin Ferner“I clash cultural heritage with the present as well as influences from all corners of the world. I want the collection to exude celebration, joy and the beginning of Svenskt Tenn’s next hundred years.”
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.
