Cherished Teddies Brief History
Enesco
introduced the Cherished Teddies collection in the United States in 1992. The
debut collection featured 16 teddy bear figurines. Each Cherished Teddies

Enesco artists then carefully craft a matching
figurine of cold cast resin, which is later hand-painted with an oil-based
lacquer paint.
The Cherished Teddies collection is one of the
world's leading teddy bear gift and collectible brands, sold in many countries
around the world, including the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia and Germany.

Making of Cherished Teddies
Each bear
starts its life in the minds of artist Pricilla Hillman and her son Glenn.
Their final drawings are sent overseas to the Cherished Teddies sculptors, who
follow size and colour specifications, indicated on the original art board. The
sculptor studies the drawing and starts to turn the original sketch into a
3-dimensional clay form. This master clay is baked to harden it, before a poly
resin material is poured onto it to create the mould. The mould is then baked
again.
The silicon
mould is handled and sorted very carefully as it is used to create all of the
Cherished Teddies figurines. A poly resin material is poured into the rubbery
silicon mould and air-dried at room temperature. This creates a 'white body',
known as white ware, so named for its plain, colourless appearance. This is the
beginning stage of a figurine prior to attaching extra moulds for special
features, such as a newspaper or watering can. The white ware figurine is
removed from the mould, cleaned, sanded and inspected for any imperfections in
preparation for being painted.
As many as
eight artists - often holding several brushes at once - hand paint the bear's
clothing, patches, fur and adorable expressions, bringing Pricilla's concepts
to life and each hand painted figurine is under stamped.
