Up for sale is a charming, authentic vintage Candy Designs Norwegian Troll Figurine, handcrafted in Oslo, Norway. This cold-cast resin/ceramic piece features a delightful troll woman sculpted with an expressive, toothy smile, large stylized nose, a traditional headscarf, and a textured forest-green dress. She is beautifully depicted affectionately cradling a prize piglet/pig in her arms, a classic representation of pastoral Nordic folklore.
Candy Designs has been manufacturing highly collectible Scandinavian folk art figures since 1976. This specific piece dates back to the 1990s or early 2000s, evidenced by the old-format Norwegian telephone country code printed on the bottom label.

My mom is Norwegian and she purchased this when she went back to her hometown from sometime arpund the late 90s and early 2000s. This makes this 20 to 28 years old. She displayed it for some time but had been sitting in closet collecting dust the last 5 or 10 years if not more.
