Department 56 Upstairs Downstairs Bears Collection of 3

This bear is from an animated tale about a houseful of teddy bears living in a cozy Edwardian house. These bears are Henry Bosworth, Nanny Maybold, and Kitty Bosworth. They are hand painted bears on a mahogany base with a porcelain bottom stamp. They were made between 1994-1996. They have been discontinued. They were designed by English artist & illustrator Carol Lawson. They show some paint wear from sitting on a shelf for a long time. Nanny measures 5 1/2 inches tall by 4 diameter base. Kitty measures 5 inches by 3 1/2 diameter base. Henry measures 4 inches by 3 diameter base. THE UPSTAIRS BEARS.... Once upon a time...there was a household of proper Edwardian Bears who resided in a large stately townhouse at number forty nine Theodore Square. Some of the bears lived Upstairs and some of the bears lived Downstairs. The Upstairs Bears are the family of Mr. Frederick "Freddy" Pumphrey Bosworth, whose great passion is his motor car. His wife, Henrietta, who has a flair for decoration, is always giving tea parties. Kitty, the eldest of the Bosworth children, is completely involved in talking and thinking of nothing but the right Honality is much more involved with attending Freddy's motor car. And there is little Polly, the kitchen maid, youngest, smallest and shyest of the staff, who on her days off spends her afternoon going for a stroll in the park.) (THE DOWNSTAIRS BEARS....."look after" the Bosworths. Barker, the butler, who is a bit straight-laced and stuffy, is in charge of the household. The cook, Mrs. Bumble, rules the kitchen and is known throughout.
