Celebrations & Traditions

The holidays are a time to celebrate traditions
and create lasting memories.


Cookie Stamps
A Scandinavian Tradition

The women of Scandinavian countries bake cakes & cookies for special occasions. Traditionally they are decorated with designs made on carved stamps handed down from one generation to the next. These decorated cakes & cookies are offered to friends during the Christmas season, at weddings, christenings, & other festive occasions.

Create Your Own
Family Traditions

Bake cookies together at birthdays,

holidays, anniversaries and weddings.
Cookie-stamp cookies and crafts are fun
and easy for
kids from 3 to 103.



Finished in the same beautiful Delft-blue glaze as befits the Scandinavian tradition, Rycraft Christmas ornaments are available in the Collector's Annual Dated Christmas designs, the perfect gift for the kids and grandkids to celebrate their births and every Christmas thereafter.
