A rare and highly sought-after Steiff creation, the Happiness Asian Bear was produced exclusively for the South-East Asian market in 1996. Limited to 3,000 pieces worldwide, this example is individually numbered 00151, ensuring provenance and collector authenticity.

Measuring 40 cm, this fully jointed bear was thoughtfully designed with proportions symbolising a happy and healthy life. Crafted from luxurious imperial yellow mohair, he is complemented by soft wool felt paw pads, glossy brown eyes, and a meticulously hand-stitched chocolate-colored mouth.

The bear is elegantly accessorised with a porcelain medallion suspended from a blue satin ribbon, enhancing both his presentation and collectible appeal.

Preserved in excellent condition, the original presentation box remains in good condition, showing minor signs of age consistent with careful storage.
