Originally designed as a paperweight-size sculpture of a seated bear in 1934, this piece is now fashioned as a smaller version ornament to adorn you tree.
Abel worked with Rookwood Pottery from 1919 to 1932, and the paperweights, bookends, and figurines she crafted largely feature animals.According to a 1943 issue ofAmerican Collector, Abel often sketched and modeled her sculptures from animals at the Cincinnati Zoo: “She has more than once sat for hours waiting for one of her subjects to get into a position suitable for modeling.”
