      He’s beautiful- but with his whiskey shade I at first thought he was a grizzly bear! All bears are fantastic btw, they make such interesting sculptures! : D

      Has that sleek head of a Polar, I love the two tones with the rock having that saturation of colour, I imagine you treasure this beauty !~

      Scott thank you for your fabulous praise for this Swedish polar bear, he is in quite a nice pose & I'm so glad you enjoyed!!

      Thank you Lauren & because I know you love polar bears I was on special lookout for them this winter, & very happy that you liked this one! Yes I can see the grizzly bear in the color and movement here, it did also come in clear glass which would be more definitively a polar bear but you know I always prefer colored glass animals as my first choice (the colors are prettier & they photograph better, for me anyway). Agree that all bears are fantastic esp the real ones, a fave movie of mine is the French film 'The Bear', such a terrific story & very touching when the baby bear is orphaned at the beginning. Your comments are always totally awesome and I'm truly delighted when you enjoy my animals :))

      Phil aren't the color variations interesting, with amber glass there are so many shadings from brown to gold, almost like autumn leaves. I do indeed treasure this icy fellow & hope the real bears will continue to have their undisturbed frozen habitat. Thanks for your super praise & great observ

      Thank you vintagelamp for your wonderful comment & enjoying this polar bear, I was lucky to find this warm amber color as it seems Swedish glassmakers favor uncolored clear & frost glass animals, so it is always a rare delight to find one like this
