Howard Holt christmas reindeer
The type of kitsch items I have been influenced by in my own work.
Even through the cermanics by Howard Holt co are made on mass production and are from America the style fittes into my idea of Australiana.
Sweden folk horse pattern: A Dalecarlian horse or Dala horse (Swedish: Dalahäst)[p] is a traditional carved, painted wooden horse statuette originating in Swedish province Dalarna.

The Dalecarlian Horse was created as a past time and turned into a souvenior the carved wooden horses and also other animals were then painted with trditional motifs. They have one from the 1600's and has become known as a iconic image of the swedish handicrafts.
