Teddy Bear Berry: A Brief Description

Berry is a most refined and elegant Steiff teddy bear, created as part of a special North American limited edition in 2013, restricted to just 1,500 pieces worldwide. Standing at 30 centimetres in height, she embodies the timeless artistry and precision for which Steiff bears are celebrated.

Materials and Craftsmanship

Crafted from the finest white alpaca, her coat has a wonderfully soft yet luxurious texture, with a gentle sheen that catches the light and enhances her snowy purity. Alpaca, being slightly silkier than mohair, lends her a distinguished presence whilst still inviting touch. Her plush is evenly trimmed, giving her a neat, sophisticated outline for natural definition. Berry’s face is delicately sculpted, with a hand-stitched silver nose and mouth set against her pale fur. Her expressive dark glass eyes give her a soulful and endearing expression. Her ears are neatly set, each rounded and lined with matching alpaca, carefully balanced to frame her gentle countenance. Berry’s body is fully jointed in the traditional Steiff manner, allowing her head, arms, and legs to be positioned in a variety of lifelike poses. Her limbs are proportioned with grace, and her paw pads are crafted from soft felt, precisely stitched to suggest the classic teddy bear silhouette. Adding to her charm is a Swarovski crystal pendant that hangs elegantly on a piece of white ribbon. This sparkling detail offers a touch of glamour, elevating her appearance and marking her as a bear designed not only for affection but also for admiration and display. The pendant reflects light beautifully, lending a jewel-like brilliance to her snowy form.

Presentation and Significance

She proudly wears the iconic Steiff button-in-ear trademark, signifying her authenticity and heritage. The button is red Swarovski crystal to match the pendant around her neck. For this limited edition, the button is accompanied by the white label with red writing, denoting her status as a North American exclusive collectible.

Berry embodies both tradition and elegance, combining Steiff’s historic craftsmanship with modern touches such as the Swarovski crystal. With her limited production of 1,500 pieces, she is a highly desirable addition to any discerning collector’s cabinet – a bear who radiates refinement, purity, and a touch of festive sparkle.
