Title: Help Give My fostered Bear a Name
Post by: Gilead on March 21, 2008, 02:32:41 PM

Hi Paperweighter's
                         My Bear needs a name he was fostered from cancer research but he as for got from which country he was born, while on his travels he as also forgot his age and whom made him, he his hoping that someone might recognize him so he can regain some of his memory, he stands 4ins tall to the top of his ears.

He is happy again now that a new home as been found for him along with a swan, the Arc his starting to fill up slowly. ;D

Hmmm he does look rather mouse-like Steve.  It's those huge ears I think!  I think Ivo's suggestion is the way to look though - Chi Chi was a Chinese panda, and there's a lot of these bubble animals made in China. I have one or two  bubbly bunnies which are probably Chinese.

Wherever they are from though, Frank would welcome photos of all types of animals for the Glass Zoo - it we all contribute our examples it'll build a really worthwhile reference site for the future. :) www.glasszoo.info - if you've not been there.

I think it looks like a Koala bear.

Thank you.
              Ivo/Anne/Mark & Leni for the input of identifying our little bear, i say bear as Leni points out no tail.
And i agree with Ivo she doe's look like a panda but also at the same time Ingela about her being a Koala from this we have called her Kee kee, ;D
as to where she may have been born (made) and what year we are still trying to work out.

If any one else can come up with an idea of these please let us know thank you all.
                                                                                                               Steve.

They've been trying to tell you she's almost certainly Chinese

Try Pat's bud vase site - she has the link in her posts.

Pics for the Zoo, please  :)

Why would Pat's bud vase site know about a bear, Frank? (Or am I being really dim and does the Zoo have bud vases now?  >:D )

Base is made in the same way as the bud vases and as she explores the different types of bubble there could be a match. Which may give a pointer.
