Decorative Teddy Bear Teapot with Cubs | 1990 Bay Trading Gift Company Ceramic Figurine Collectible
Decorative Teddy Bear Teapot with Cubs | 1990 Bay Trading Gift Company Ceramic Figurine Collectible
This decorative teapot was produced by The Bay Trading Gift Company in 1990 and features a sculpted teddy bear design holding a cup and surrounded by two small cubs. It was created as a display piece rather than for functional tea use, and the hand-painted ceramic finish highlights the characterful textured fur and striped shirt details.
The piece is crafted from ceramic and formed as a full figurative teapot with a removable head lid. The surface includes moulded features, painted accents and a glossy glaze consistent with late 20th-century giftware production. The underside stamp confirms the 1990 manufacturing date by The Bay Trading Gift Company Limited.
Research indicates that the company produced a small run of novelty ceramic figurines and decorative teapots between the late 1980s and early 1990s, making surviving pieces desirable among collectors of themed British giftware.
Condition is very good with no cracks, repairs or structural flaws visible in the photographs. As this is a decorative item, it is not suitable for hot liquids or functional teapot use.
Please review all photos carefully and feel free to ask any questions before purchasing. We want you to be 💯 confident with your order.
A great addition for collectors or vintage lovers.
