introduction
In the 1920s, teddy bears dressed as clowns were all the rage in Europe and the United States, and the original teddy clown of this bear was such a big hit that the Steiff factory sent out 30,000 of them in two years, from 1926 to 1928.

other
This bear has a very graceful appearance, and we treat it like an antique in our home, yet I think its adorable, slightly troubled expression adds to the bear’s charm.
Besides, this bear looks great with tipped mohair dyed brown at the ends and a dark blue bonbon, and I’ve never known blue and brown to go so well together.
Steiff has many kinds of teddy crowns on the market, but this is the first time I’ve welcomed one, and I’m instantly hooked on its charm♪
