I’ve been inventorying my Fenton and Bakewell and Pears thumbprint glass collection and culling the pieces I don’t love for future sale. I found five more boxes this morning and completed the inventory.  In the box was a polar bear I’d purchased and forgot about.

This goofy fellow emerged from bubble wrap:

Bing and Grondahl makes some lovely polar bear figurines. So do Lomonosov and Royal Dux.  I have several.  Most of my Bing and Grondahl bears are still packed away.  As you’ll see in the next photo, my safe bear display area is full.
