Rare Merrythought Ironbridge Shropshire Bear | Golden Mohair

Welcome to vintage findings at The Plum Dish. A gentle reminder: all listings include free UK postage,

​Here's Ditsy. A beautiful, traditional Teddy Bear from the world-famous Merrythought of Ironbridge, Shropshire. 🐻

​This stunning golden bear is a classic example of British craftsmanship. Featuring the iconic gold-and-black "Merrythought Ironbridge Shropshire" woven label on her right foot, she is a must-have for any serious collector or a beautiful addition to a traditional nursery.

​To make her truly one-of-a-kind, I have personally dressed her in a bespoke, hand-knitted peppermint green romper featuring delicate rosebud detailing. This outfit was chosen specifically to complement Ditsy's rich golden fur.
