Mrs Tiggy-winkle: A Brief Description
The Steiff Mrs Tiggy-winkle (EAN 661822) is a magnificent limited-edition creation, released in 2005 to commemorate the 100th anniversary of The Tale of Mrs Tiggy-winkle, first published in 1905 by Beatrix Potter. Measuring 22cm in height, this exquisite piece is a masterclass in craftsmanship and attention to detail, making it a prized collector’s item.
Materials and Craftsmanship
This charming Mrs Tiggy-winkle is crafted from the finest mohair, chosen to replicate the soft, bristly texture of a real hedgehog’s spines. The mohair is a blend of warm honey, cream, and soft brown tones, carefully airbrushed to enhance her lifelike appearance. Her little face is beautifully sculpted, featuring a delicate hand-stitched nose, expressive black glass eyes, and intricate shading around her features that bring her to life. Her tiny paws and feet are finished in a soft felt material, with subtle stitching to add character and dimension. Her adorable ears, slightly tucked beneath her bonnet, give her a warm and endearing expression.
Detailing
Dressed in her traditional Victorian-style attire, Mrs Tiggy-winkle wears a classic pink gingham blouse with puffed sleeves, paired with a crisp, cream apron featuring delicate pleats. The lace-edged bonnet, made from a lightweight cotton fabric frames her face perfectly. Her tiny hands appear to be busily preparing for her daily chores, just as depicted in Beatrix Potter’s charming illustrations. The outfit is impeccably tailored, with authentic period detailing, making it a stunning tribute to the beloved literary character.
Limited Edition Features
As part of Steiff’s 100-Year Anniversary Collection, this edition of Mrs Tiggy-winkle was produced in strictly limited numbers, ensuring its desirability among collectors. Each piece comes with an individually numbered certificate of authenticity (attached to her arm). As a final touch, she wears the iconic Steiff button-in-ear, accompanied by the white tag, marking her as an official Steiff limited-edition creation.
Presentation and Significance
Mrs Tiggy-winkle is presented in a Steiff gift box, which provides both protection and a touch of luxury. This 2005 Steiff Mrs Tiggy-winkle is an exquisite keepsake, celebrating one of Beatrix Potter’s most cherished characters with extraordinary craftsmanship and timeless charm.
