Two mouth-blown bears with distinct personalities — one standing tall in a red vest, the other settled in a sitting pose — both hand-painted with genuine character.
Both carry the telltale Whitehurst cap, marked "Germany." Founded in 1947, Whitehurst Imports remains the oldest continual importer of European glass ornaments in the US, working exclusively with European glass-blowing families to maintain the quality their silver-nitrate interior and hand-lacquered finish are known for.
A lovely pair for a tree on their own, and they round out beautifully alongside our other Whitehurst figural bears if you're building a fuller collection.
