Once again Steiff have come up trumps with a wonderful UK Bear, this time based on a 1920s design by Richard Steiff. A feature of 1920s Steiff designs is the widely spaced ears which gives the face a very open and appealing look. In an addition of only 4000, this Bear is going to be popular for sure !
Size: 36 cms Price: £169

1953 was an important year for Steiff since it was the 50th anniversary of the Leipzig Toy Fair where Richard Steiff launched his newly designed Teddy Bear and this white replica was made to celibrate 50 years of the Teddy Bear.

Pink Steiff Bears are always popular and this one has the added attraction of the Royal connection and a fine porcelain pendant by Wedgewood. This Bear has not been available to us so we have had to purchase from a Department store for which the Queen Mother Bear was exclusively made and so it is expensive, but with everything going for it and in an edition of under 2000, it is well worth the money.
Size: 33 cms Price: £180
Tipped mohairs always give a Bear depth of character and I think that the Brown Tipped is the best Bear of this year from Steiff. He is a good size, and his large ears set low down, add to the individuality of this Bear. There is the added advantage of wood wool stuffing and squeaker. Although in an edition of 5000, we are informed that the Bear is well sold out and I am not surprised !
Size: 42 cms Price: £199

First made in 1909 this Rolly Polly replica is a little charmer and was one of the fastest 2003 Steiff Bears to sell out. Limited to only 3000, he is sure to be a rarity in years to come, as Steiff have not made a world wide Rolly Polly Bear for many years. They made a Rolly Polly Hare in 2001 and this year have added a Rolly Polly Santa.
Size: 15 cms Price: £90
This was the "hottest" Steiff Bear of 2003 - we had more disappointed Collectors wanting this Bear than any other that I can remember. Our allocation from Steiff was sold out inside of 30 minutes on the telephone in February. However, due to exceptional demand, we have managed to purchase the odd one or two Titanics on the secondary market since Christmas, - hence the price- and this is the first time he has been is stock since last Summer, when we came back from a trip to Holland with two.
Size: 70 cms Price: £900
The Bear on Wheels has been in great demand and we had many collectors who we could not supply. Also, although on wheels, he is a very slow Bear as we did not have our full quota from Steiff until November ! The reason for the delay was because the Bear on Wheels is stuffed with wood wool and the process is takes time. We managed to find 3 in late November of which we have but one left - so don't delay !
Size: 43 cms Price: £450
Firstly, the 3 Bears with the Cart are 12cm, and this item is sold as a Collector's piece and not as a child's toy. The 1903 Leipzig Fair was a turning point in Steiff's history. Had Steiff not taken the PB Bear to Leipzig, (where the first order for 3000 teddies was taken) - we would not be here today. Steiff have done well to make this commemorative item and I would rate it as the best display piece that they have made in my time as a Steiff retailer. You can have fun arranging the crates and Bears and the wood and metal Cart is made by a small Bavarian craftstudio. Don't overlook this piece as only 1200 were made !
Size: 30 cms Price: £499

The delightful Jack in a Box was our customers favourite Steiff Christmas item and 25 of them sold out immediately.

Size: 23 cms Price: £109
The English Bear is embroidered with the red rose, - an emblem that dates back to the Wars of the Roses when the protagonists - the House of York,and the House of Lancaster wore the red rose and white rose respectively. The House of York won, and so the red rose became the emblem of England, worn proudly recently, by England's victorious World Cup Rugby team.
Size: 19 cms Price: £95
The Scottish Bear is embroidered with the thistle and dates back to 1263 and was chosen as an emblem because its sharp prickles would help repell invaders, - an added deterrent to the harsh climate and craggy landscape !
The Irish Bear is embroidered with the green shamrock a small trefoil plant that was thought to charm away evil spirits and that St Patrick used to illustrate the Holy Trinity.
The Welsh Bear is embroidered with the daffodil born from the legend of St David- the patron saint of Wales and chosen because he considered that the daffodil was the fairest of all flowers.

This year (2004) is an important centenary and to mark it, Steiff have made the 43 PAB and it is special, because it has a button with the famous Steiff elephant. This button has only been used once before - (in 1904) and the tag is sewn into his side, because, in 1904, there was no ear tag. This Bear is exceptional in other ways being a super size, with deep curly mohair and the typical big bear Steiff look which I love. He is only availabe this year, so don't miss out. He also has 3 smaller friends -28cm -in three colours which are just as nice and are the next item.
Size: 60 cms Price: £275
Steiff and Royal Copenhagen porcelain have teamed up to produce a delightful boxed set of a fine blue Steiff Bear with porcelain pendant and Goldilocks figure. The set is limited and is definitely one for the discerning Collector. This is the first piece in what I anticipate will be a series.
Size: 30 cms Price: £270
I am sure all of you know that this is the Steiff year of the Elephant ! ( 100 years ago, Steiff first used an elephant stamped button and they are repeating the elephant motif just for this year only ). With this Bear, the elephant is on a medaillion attached to a collar. The Bear is in a fine and subtle shade of caramel and as usual the edition is 4,000 only. The Uk Bears always sell out so don't delay, and rermember, the elephant motif will not be repeated again.
Size: 38 cms Price: £199
This is such an adorable Bear ! In fact, on the Hugability scale, he is off the scale with a rating of 10+ ! Grizzly Ted is so unusual for Steiff and has special features usually associated with "artist" bears. Grizzly Ted is going to be a huge success and in an edition of only 2000 our allocation will be very limited which means this Bear will be available to all our regular customers and hopefully there will be some left over for casual internet customers, but first come first served !
Size: 40 cms Price: £299
This is the second Exhibition Bear and is sure to be a rapid sell out !

Size: 20 cms Price: £95

Size: 70 cms Price: £530

The Brush Dax is an important example of the ingenuity of its designer, Richard Steiff. Apart from inventing the Teddy Bear, he liked to design functional items, such as a cigarette lighter, the roloplan, and a valve for pneumatic tyres : some of his ideas never went into full production, but were made as a special series and the Brush Dax is such an item. When I first saw it I knew right away that there was a place in my collection ! Limited to 1500 pcs.

This fine Bear headlined the Steiff 2007 range and was a best seller. The Bear celebrated the introduction into the Steiff range of the so called growler : this was a Steiff invention, although they never managed to secure the patent, and consequently it is in general use throughout the Bear industry.
Aunt Lucy - from Darkest Peru ! There is something about Aunt Lucy - the bowler hat, the glasses, outfit etc. she's so bizarre, but very lovable !
Size: 35 cms Price: £189
The special feature of this Bear is its colour : Steiff have simulated a faded black - this gives a "tipped" appearance, although the itention was to make a black Bear, that had been kept in bright conditions, meaning that the ends of the black mohair had faded. This "faded black" is finely contrasted with a soft pink bow, and the Bear has outlined boot button eyes.
Size: 38 cms Price: £130
When Steiff took back the Steiff Festival from Gunther Pfeiffer in 2006, one of their innovations was a special mini Sommer Bear, in an edition of only 130. These are very sought after, because they are cute, and also, because of the low edition - normally, 500 is the minimum. The colour is a rich browny gold and not 2 tone, as the photo suggests.
Size: 18 cms Price: £295
This was the second Steiff Sommer mini Bear.
This was the 3rd Steiff Sommer Festival Bear, and the "rose" colour proved to be very successful, incoporating the embroidered techique, orginally used in the Club "Flowers".
This is fifth Steiff Sommer mini Festival Bears, and I think, the best. Steiff have chosen a slightly smaller size, in a subtle off white, which is very effectively complimented by an exqusitie flower decoration.
Size: 16 cms Price: £295
