Before Prosperity, this enchanting South-East Asian Exclusive was released. It is Asian Happiness, who too is a highly desired Bear, thanks to the meaning behind his unique design features. He was created by the talented artisans at Steiff in 1996.
Asian Happiness is 40cm tall and fully jointed. His size and proportion have been chosen to reflect a happy and healthy life, according to regional traditions. He has been sewn from a decadent imperial yellow mohair with a warm delicate orange glow. He has wool felt paws, glossy brown eyes and lovable hand stitched chocolate features including a contagious grin. He wears a porcelain medallion featuring his name with the Steiff motif and a royal blue satin ribbon. Beautifully endearing!!
Asian Happiness is very rare to come by on the open market, due too his great popularity and meaning (in Chinese custom). He is a South-East Asian Exclusive of only 3,000 pieces and will come to you boxed with his numbered certificate of authenticity.
A few dings to box from storage but in excellent condition for age
