The ceramic company responsible for making molds of the popular Joan Walsh Anglund Christmas ornaments for use in hobbyist ceramic shops was Duncan Enterprises.

Duncan was well-known for producing ceramic molds that allowed hobbyists to create their own painted ceramic pieces, including licensed designs from popular artists like Joan Walsh Anglund. These molds were used in ceramic studios and home workshops, where individuals could pour slip (liquid clay), fire the pieces in a kiln, and then hand-paint them.

The Joan Walsh Anglund ceramic ornament molds made by Duncan Enterprises were most popular during the late 1970s through the 1980s. This was during the height of the ceramic hobby boom, when many home-based and studio-based ceramicists were using slip-cast molds to create and decorate their own pieces.

Joan Walsh Anglund’s distinctive, sentimental character designs were widely used in various Christmas ornaments and figurines, and Duncan Enterprises capitalized on this by producing ceramic molds for hobbyists to recreate and paint their own versions.
