[!bear-image-by-jiggerman.jpg](http://canadiandesignresource.ca/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/bear-image-by-jiggerman.jpg) Jacques Marcus designed a family of bears (mother, father and baby) for Ceramique de Beauce in 1968 of which only 100 copies were made. These were made of an egg-shell type finish and are very rare today. They were number 2165 but were unmarked. This bear is identical to the Marcus bear but has a satin charcoal grey colour very similar to the glazes used by Beauce designer Jacques Garnier. I believe these bears were re-released sometime after that as I acquired this bear in the late 70’s. Bear measures approx 6 inches long by 3 1/2 inches tall. -Jiggerman
