| "TIME FOR A LITTLE SOMETHING" |
We are happy to announce that there were not one but two One-of-a-Kinds created for this year's Doll and Teddy Bear Weekend at Walt Disney World! For doll collectors, there was the "Brave Little Tailor" and for bear-lovers, a very special Winnie-the-Pooh creation titled: "TIME FOR A LITTLE SOMETHING." Specially created to commemorate Winnie-the-Pooh's 80th birthday year, this One-of-a-Kind piece was carefully based on a charming original illustration by E. H. Shepard which appeared in the first of the Winnie-the-Pooh books published in 1926.
This exciting auction piece featured an authentic R. John Wright Winnie-the-Pooh bear measuring approximately 14" tall, fully jointed and made of custom-dyed mohair and wool plush. The only one of his kind in the world, Pooh is designed to stand on his tip toes and has a unique upward-glancing tilt to his head. He has hand embroidered features and leather covered "shoe-button" eyes (a first for an RJW Pooh). Pooh stands on a beautiful custom-crafted wooden chair in front of his authentically-detailed wooden corner cupboard. Inside is his precious Hunny pot handmade of earthenware. The cupboard is built into the textured walls of his pantry. The base of the piece measures 24" square and the entire height is approximately 30".
Time for a Little Something was on display for the first and only time at the Doll and Teddy Bear Weekend at Walt Disney World. During the special auction held on May 20th at 7:30 PM EST, this One-of-a-Kind diorama sold to the highest bidder for the price of $10,000. A deluxe bound certificate of authenticity hand signed by R. John Wright and Susan Wright was also included.
