This bear embodies the elegance and charm that collectors have come to cherish in Steiff’s annual offerings. This bear encapsulates the rich history and artistry of Steiff, appealing to both seasoned collectors and those beginning their journey into the enchanting world of teddy bear collecting.

Materials and Craftsmanship

This delightful bear is meticulously crafted from luxurious, fine alpaca in a grey beige hue. The alpaca, both soft and lustrous, exudes a sense of nostalgia and warmth. Standing 36 cm tall, the bear features a classic design that harks back to the early 20th century, with its traditionally proportioned body, delicately curved limbs, and an endearing, slightly elongated muzzle.

Detailing

The bear’s expressive face is brought to life with sparkling, hand-set black eyes that convey a gentle, inquisitive nature. Its carefully stitched nose and mouth add a touch of refinement. The paw pads are crafted from soft felt, accentuating the bear’s luxurious aesthetic.

Limited Edition Features

As with all Steiff creations, this bear proudly bears the iconic “Button in Ear” hallmark, signifying its authenticity and heritage. Attached is a white label, identifying it as part of a limited edition—each bear is individually numbered, underscoring its uniqueness.

Presentation and Significance

To mark its significance as the 2013 British Collectors’ Bear, this exquisite piece is designed to evoke the essence of vintage Steiff bears, celebrating the enduring appeal of these beloved companions. It is presented in a beautifully designed gift box, making it a perfect addition to any collection or a cherished gift for a special occasion.
