Teddy Bear
1960s (manufactured)
| Artist/Maker | |
| Place of origin |
Teddy bears from Eastern Europe tend to have a different look to those from the West. Their design is often chunky because they have been stuffed very solidly and they can be quite heavy. This Hungarian bear is even more unusual because it is dramatically two-tone.
