Bing & Grøndahl Victoria 1997 Teddy Bear of the Year Victor & Victoria

Victoria 1997 from Bing & Grøndahl is a charming teddy bear figurine that, with its calm smile, closed eyes and warm winter accessories, creates a cosy and familiar atmosphere. The figurine stands on a white base and is made as a teddy bear with a red scarf and earmuffs, which gives the motif a soft and wintry expression that fits beautifully into both Christmas decorations and a collection of classic porcelain figurines.

This figurine is the first release in the popular Victor & Victoria series, which makes it especially interesting for collectors of Bing & Grøndahl figurines. When a series begins with such an atmospheric figurine, it often gets a special place in the collection, and Victoria 1997 is precisely a model that many keep an eye on. At the same time, it also works well on its own as a decorative teddy bear in porcelain with a gentle and friendly expression.

The artist behind it is Sheilah Beckett, who is known for figurines with warmth, personality and storytelling. Here, the cute teddy bear motif meets the classic craftsmanship that has made Bing & Grøndahl a sought-after name among collectors of Danish design and porcelain. Underglaze contributes to the figurine's glossy surface and durable decoration, while the soft shapes and subdued colours make it easy to place in the home.

For collectors of Victor & Victoria, this is an important figurine to know, because it marks the beginning of the series. It can be an obvious addition to an existing collection or a fine start for someone who would like to collect Bing & Grøndahl teddy bear figurines. As an older porcelain figurine, it also contains that special joy of preserving good design and passing quality objects with history on to new generations.
