#0057 A charming frosted glass teddy bear figurine, a paperweight/figurine

No chips or cracks 2.5” x 2” Frosted glass, also known as "satin glass," is created by etching or sandblasting the surface of clear glass to give it a matte, diffused appearance. This technique was popular in the mid-20th century for decorative items and figurines, offering a softer aesthetic than polished glass. Many companies produced these types of charming animal figures, which were often used as paperweights or decorative accents in homes. This particular bear figurine, with its stylized form and frosted finish, is characteristic of the mid-century modern design movement. Such pieces were widely produced and collected for their whimsical appeal and the tactile quality of the frosted glass. While not always signed by a specific maker, they represent a significant category of decorative art glass from that era.
