Overview
This charming holiday piece features a textured teddy bear in full witch regalia surrounded by classic Halloween motifs, including jack-o'-lanterns, an owl, and a springing bat. Molded from hollow cast resin, it houses an internal electric bulb that casts a warm, nostalgic glow through translucent openings.
Story
The 1990s boom in country folk-art decor led to massive demand for cozy, nostalgic holiday figurines. This piece transformed traditional spooky imagery into whimsical home illumination.
Maker / Origin
Likely china (for an unidentified distributor marked cd).
Condition & Value
Appears to be in very good working condition with intact electrical hardware, working light source, and bright paint. Only minor surface dust and micro-scuffs are visible. Fully functional lighting preserves full secondary market value. Driven primarily by decorative seasonal demand and nostalgia for 1990s country holiday decor.
