Are you talking about Hummel figurines? The kissing thing is one of thousands of their designs.
The figures are Dutch (not Swedish) They come from the Netherlands and many of them are Delftware. People often refer to them as the Dutch boy and girl kissing or “First kiss”. The boy and girl usually have their hand behind their backs. Their dress is traditional Dutch clothing. Wooden clogs are traditonal footwear for Holland / the Netherland.
You can see some images here of the figurines:
