Since the 1950s, Kersten has produced decorative figures in polyresin – a material that allows fine details and a durable finish. This dog candle holder is hand-painted, so each piece has slight variations in color shades. The dog sits upright with the candle holder placed on its back, measuring 10x10 cm at the base. Polyresin withstands indoor use without fading or cracking over time.
Care and Maintenance
Dust off with a soft cloth. Avoid water and cleaning agents, as the hand-painted surface can wear. Polyresin is not frost-resistant and should not be exposed to direct sunlight for extended periods.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between polyresin and ceramic for candle holders?
Polyresin is lighter than ceramic and allows for more detailed shapes without cracking during casting. Ceramic is glazed and often smoother, while polyresin has a matte finish and can be hand-painted with finer nuances. Both materials are durable for indoor use.
Can the dog candle holder withstand heat from lit candles?
Yes, polyresin tolerates the heat from a normal candle burning in the holder. Make sure the candle does not burn down completely to the figure, and never leave lit candles unattended.
What kind of candles fit the candle holder?
Standard taper candles (2.2–2.3 cm diameter) or small block candles fit the holder on the dog’s back. Measure the holder’s diameter before buying candles to ensure a good fit.
Is the dog candle holder a good gift for dog owners?
Yes, especially as a hostess or birthday gift for those who collect dog figurines or have a dog that resembles it. It’s also popular as a christening gift if the family has a dog, as it can be displayed for many years.
How heavy is polyresin compared to ceramic?
Polyresin typically weighs 30–40% less than comparable ceramic. This candle holder weighs about 400–500 grams, so it stands stable without being heavy to move around.

Handmade & unique product
Most of my products are handmade or hand-painted. This means that there may be variations in color, finish, and minor imperfections. These variations are a natural part of the handmade look and make each product unique. Minor differences are therefore not considered defects.
