$40.00

Ceramic Sculpture Character Toby Jug entitled "Henley Teddy Bear". Produced in a limited edition of 250 worldwide and modelled by top ceramic sculptor Andy Moss, handmade and hand-decorated in England and signed by Kevin Pearson of Kevin Francis Ceramics. Please refer to condition notes below and photographs.
Teddy is depicted wearing a smart blue and white stripy blazer and straw boater. "Henley" is written on a blue band around the boater so we can assume he is at a picnic watching the Henley Royal Regatta. Teddy is depicted seated on a log with a jar of honey between his legs which are outstretched on a picnic hamper. He has a punnet of strawberries and a bottle of champagne on his right and a discarded bottle of champagne and a copy of "Teddy Bears Picnic" for some light afternoon reading on his left. His left arm is outstretched and waving.

An orange stain is observed on the front of Teddy's blazer which I have tried unsuccessfully to remove (please refer to final photograph) and there is a tiny chip on the rim of Teddy's boater. These flaws have been reflected in the asking price. No cracks or crazing observed. Teddy was part of a large Kevin Francis collection and despite the flaws, still displays well, as depicted.
The Henley Royal Regatta is a rowing event held annually on the River Thames by the town of Henley-on-Thames, England, and was established in 1839.
Established by Kevin Pearson and Francis Salmon, Kevin Francis Ceramics has become known for its exceptionally high quality and creativity in figural art pottery.
