He reminds me of an armadillo with his long pointy nose! And very seasonal too this time of year, especially now with this cold snap we're having at the moment! He's a warm colour at least :D
Love polar bears, the gradation of colour is beautiful !~
I love the amber color of this little polar bear!! Just a wonderful piece!!
Thank you so much everyone for the love

Thank you Lauren for your wonderful comment about this polar bear, indeed it does have a very pointy armadillo-like nose, which we can attribute to the creative interpretation by this Swedish glassmaker. They just have to alter an animal's appearance to make their design different (not only Swedish makers but Murano & many others), which is cool to me as I like something a bit out of the ordinary. Love that warm orangy amber as well
Phil thank you for your terrific compliment for this bear, and isn't it great the way they can blend the colors in a gradient look, I love that feature in glass
Thanks Scott for your awesome praise for my polar bear, delighted you enjoyed it and also loved the pretty color, me too
Thank you Faith.k for the love for this glass polar bear, so glad you liked it and really appreciate your thoughtfulness
Thanks so much Mani for the love for this glass polar bear, really glad you liked it and always appreciate your kindness
Trey thank you so much for this and all of your thoughtful loves today, you're so nice and I will thank you for each individually when I have more time, truly am grateful to you my friend
Such a cool bear, so very Euro.
And the colour!!!
Karen special thanks for your fabulous praise for this polar bear, it is a really nice gradient orange-gold color & love that creative take on the nose, different is really cool! Glad to see you here my friend, hope all good on your end, I'm alot better but planning a quiet low key holiday this yr
Thank you Bronmar for the thoughtful love for this Mantorp bear, it's always much appreciated & very kind of you
One can't always go by what online sellers claim these days. Incorrect info gets copied over and over online to the point it only looks true. Most sellers don't bother to do any real research on their own, they just look for something that looks like what they have and copy what that seller is claiming not knowing if it's true or not, all they care about is making a sale. I know you won't find your item listed as Ambernia in any reference book.
Can you explain why you have LE Smith and Fenton items on your 'true amberina' post. Many foreign glass companies in many books call this type of glass amberina, why do you only write about Libbey and US glass, do you have personal experience with ALL amberina glass
