THIS AUCTION IS FOR A PORCELAIN BOYDS BEAR SANTA'S CHALLENGE.
THE BOYDS COLLECTION LTD. HAS, SINCE 1979, BEEN CREATING AFFORDABLE ANTIQUE REPRODUCTIONS AND COLLECTIBLES. IN THE BEARSTONE COLLECTION, ARTISTS HAVE BROUGHT TO YOU SCUPLTURAL INTERPRETATIONS OF OUR NOW FAMOUS BEARS, HARES, TABBIES, MOOSE, MICE AND OTHER "FRIENDS". EACH PIECE IS CONCEPTUALIZED AND SKETCHED BY G.M. LOWENTHAL, THE COMPANY CEO. THE SKETCH IS THEN TRANSLATED INTO CLAY WHICH S THEN REWORKED AND REVISITED MANY TIMES BEFORE GIVEN THE FINAL APPROVAL.AFTER WORKING ON A COLOR PALETTE THE PAWPRINT IS EITHER PAINTED ONTO, OR EMBOSSED INTO THE PIECE, EACH PIECE HAS A PAWPRINT SOMEWHERE ON IT. ALWAYS LOOK FOR OUR PAWPRINT AS OUR SYMBOL OF AUTHENTICITY, ACCEPT NO SUBSTITUTES! THE COMPLETED SCULPTURE IS THEN READY TO BEGIN THE TIME-CONSUMING TASK OF HAND CASTING OUR AND HAND PRINTING REPRODUCTIONS OF THE ORIGINAL. WE BELIEVE THAT THE BEARSTONE COLLECTION FORMS A COMBINATION OF AESTHETICS, CRAFTSMANSHIP, AND "WHIMSEY" THAT REPRESENTS A TRUE VALUE FOR YOU, TODAY'S COLLECTOR.
THIS SANTA'S CHALLENGE IS IN VERY GOOD CONDITION. MINOR TO NO WEAR ON THIS PIECE, HAS BEEN DISPLAYED BUT CAN BE CLEANED WITH AN AIR CANISTER AND DAMP CLOTH. INCLUDES ORIGINAL TAG AND BOX WHICH IS SLIGHTLY WORN AND HAS A PIECE OF TAPE STUCK TO IT.GREAT ADDITION TO ANY COLLECTION.
