A Rare Find for the Serious Teddy Bear Collector.
We are proud to present this exceptional pair of one-of-a-kind (OOAK) artist bears, originally handcrafted in the renowned artisan hub of Maleny, Queensland. These bears were created by a talented member of the Boyce family and were recognized as award winners in a regional craft competition.
Artisan Craftsmanship & Unique Design
The defining feature of these bears is the incredible "spilled honey" effect. Using a specialized resin/gloss technique, the artist has realistically depicted honey dripping from their noses, paws, and honey dippers. This is a rare signature in artist bears that creates a striking, high-end display.
