Notes: Though Miniature-sized, the Bisque Bears were part of 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.’”
