HISTORY OF CHERISHED TEDDIES
The Cherished Teddies Collection began in 1992 which debuted 16 teddy bear figurines and since then designer Priscilla Hillman created many, many more Teddies throughout the years. All Cherished Teddies start as a drawing by her or her son Glenn Hillman which joined her  in 1999. The drawings go to artists that carefully craft a matching figurine of cold cast resin and are hand painted with an oil-based lacquer paint.
Every Cherished Teddy has his or her own personality. They are packaged with their own number and description and until 2011 came with their own certificate of adoption that enhanced the personality in each design.
Special Editions and Collector Club figurines did not come with a certificate and after 2011 for cost cutting measures they discontinued the certificates all together.
The Cherished Teddies collection with Enesco was one of the world's leading teddy bear gift and collectible brands, and was sold in many countries around the world.  The collection had been honored with numerous awards in the gift and collectibles industry. They
are still sought after and the original Enesco teddies will become even harder to find now that the saga of the teddies came to an end in 2017 with the original distributor Enesco. The Hillmans signed with a new giftware company in 2018 (Roman) for a rebirth of the Cherished Teddies figurines which started the end of 2018. (These new figurines seem to me to have a different look, not the cherished look I am use to of the original Enesco brand).
