Bisque “Big Brother” Teddy Bear

B-102, Bisque “Big Brother” Teddy Bear

Height: 1 ½”

Designer: Helen Perrin Farnlund

Production Dates:

S1983-F1983, as “Big Brother” (Brown, blue or red/white cap, white bow tie w/red dots [other colorways possible])

Notes: Though Miniature-sized, the Bisque Bears were actually sold in the Designer’s Workshop line. The order forms call them “Porcelain Roller Skating Teddy Bears (Bisque Porcelain with Moveable Heads).” They are the only Hagen-Renakers made of porcelain. The heads were attached with elastic bands, which have almost invariably become stretched out or even broken over time. Mold B-102 was later used for A-876, “Ski Bear ‘Gussie.’”
