Description
The Cherished Teddies collection is a brand owned by the Enesco Corporation, based on the artwork of Priscilla Hillman. The brand is mainly focused on resin figurines of teddy bears but also includes plush bears, infant bedding & accessories, wall borders, apparel & other merchandise. Enesco introduced the Cherished Teddies collection in the United States in 1992. The debut collection featured 16 teddy bear figurines. Each Cherished Teddies figurine starts from a Priscilla Hillman drawing. Enesco artists then carefully craft a matching figurine of cold cast resin, which is later hand-painted with an oil-based lacquer paint. Other than some special edition & collector club figurines, all Cherished Teddies are packaged with their own certificate of adoption, an addition that enhances the personality captured in each design & strengthens the bond with the lucky owner. in 1995, responding to overwhelming enthusiasm from the public, Enesco launched the Cherished Teddies Club. Members of the club (or "membears", as they are known) receive news, invites to special events & a variety of membear-only special offers & other benefits. The Cherished Teddies collection is one of the world's leading teddy bear gift & collectible brands, sold in many countries around the world, including the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia & Germany. The collection has been honored with numerous awards. Priscilla's son, Glenn Hillman, joined his mother in designing Cherished Teddies in 1999. Glenn has taken some of the load from his mother by designing many of the figurines since then.
