      What a sweet looking bear!
    2. LaurenRedmond LaurenRedmond, 6 years ago
      She's a very pensive looking bear, something to me suggests she's on edge- I think it's her slightly hunched pose maybe....Has she been separated from her cub?! Or perhaps she's perched on a rocky ridge in the middle of a river just quietly waiting for a salmon to leap up into her jaws!
      I do love her deep wine colour which is very rich in tone, sort of like those wine gum sweets I think and it took me a second to realise where I am has a completely different date for Mother's day- but considering that May is the month to celebrate the Virgin Mary your dates make a lot more sense,.

      Thanks so much for the great compliment Ken, and a happy Mother's Day to the ladies in your family

      Thank you MrsT for the kind compliment, so glad you enjoyed & hope you are having a wonderful Mother's Day

      Eileen yes this mama bear is undoubtedly looking for the smaller version Viking baby bear! Lovely comment & have a super Mom's Day

      Right you are Lauren, this mama bear could be looking for her smaller version Baby Bear by Viking, or definitely has the look of hunting for her fish dinner in the water! The deep red color is only transparent around the nose and feet, so the color appears darker, and this is SUCH a heavy glass (probably leaded) piece, think when I bought it they said it weighed betw 2-5 lbs. Whenever you celebrate Mother's Day I hope it is lovely, and yes May is the month of Our Lady, the assumption feast I think? Wonderful comment as always, thank you so much :)

      Thank you Truth for your great comment & love, agree this is a beautiful shade of deep red/burgundy. Viking did other animals in the same color in the 80s I also have their seal with ball
