Oh! how adorable is this little furry fellow.
This is a little vintage model of a little polar bear cub issued by the American pottery: C. Alan Johnson.
This wee bear was issued in 1986 - as part of the Alaskan series of figures.
He is a cute wee model measuring 5 inches in length and is about 2 1/2 inches in height.
The little figurine is fully signed on the base.
Mr Johnson was born in Pasadena in 1926 and died in 2008.
He was a talented sculptor and watercolourist. He is perhaps best known for his much loved Alaska Figurines.
With his artist wife, he co-founded the C. Alan Johnson Co. in 1958.
They produced artwork for 48 years, until 2006 when he retired at the age of 80 and they closed the business.
This work is now getting very collectable.
