Lenox Smithsonian Institution Centennial Teddy Bear Porcelain Figurine

Celebrate a century of childhood comfort with this Lenox Centennial Teddy Bear, created for the Smithsonian Institution to mark the teddy bear’s 100th anniversary. Sculpted to look like an antique jointed mohair bear, he sits with outstretched legs, tilted head, and textured “fur,” complete with stitched seam lines down his back and belly. Gilded eyes, nose, and mouth, plus gold-rimmed paw pads, give this sweet ivory bear a heirloom finish, with the Lenox and Smithsonian marks printed on the base.

Details:

• Era: 2000’s
• Condition: Excellent condition. No chips, cracks, or gold wear.
• Material: Fine ivory porcelain with gold accents
• Maker: Lenox for the Smithsonian Institution (handcrafted in Thailand)

A lovely gift for teddy bear collectors, a baby’s nursery shelf, or anyone who still remembers their first bear.
