The
Cherished Teddies Collection began in 1992 and has continued
ever since as one of the top performing new collectibles. Early teddies
remain sought after, but the prices of most figurines on the secondary
market have come down after initial highs. As well as figurines the
collection also includes ornaments and decorative accessories.

All the Cherished Teddies begin life as pictures by artist Priscilla
Hillman (whose other collections include Calico
Kittens, Priscilla's Mouse Tales, and My Blushing Bunnies).
Each Cherished Teddies Figurine carries a Certificate of Adoption which
can be completed and forwarded to the Cherished Teddies Adoption Centre
for registration.
All the Cherished Teddies live in Cherished Teddies Town, and many of
the figurines relate to specific collections.
The Cherished Teddies Club celebrates its 15th Anniversary in
2009 and remains one of the most popular collectors clubs and enables
membears to receive joining gifts, the opportunity to buy exclusive
Cherished Teddies and to keep up with all the latest bear happenings
through the club newsletter, The Town Tatler.
