August 14, 2002 - Gettysburg, Pa. - For years, the Folks at Boyds have created bears, hares, cats, dogs; accessories; and home décor to brighten your life! But, we've never tackled tabletop in a big way... until now! For the first time in Boyds history, we present a collection for the kitchen and dining room - a tabletop series that features both Bearware Potteryworks™ and Steward Earthworks™ created by our friends at HC Accents™. Both are designed in a country style to compliment our wide assortment of Boyds Stuff!
This season, we offer six collections... the Homestead Collection, this country style collection features primitive folk art farm scenes and country-check borders; Bountiful Collection, which features a colorful fruit and ribbon motif; Starry Nights Collection, inspired by the magic of wintertime, this collection has whimsical watercolor snowmen on it; I've Been a Very Good Bear Collection, inspired by our popular Kringle Bearstone characters, comes rimmed in pine green and a bear dressed as Santa on it; Home Sweet Home Collection, features a smiling Boyds character and a country style that's ideal for display in most country kitchens; and the Bless Us All Collection, inspired by Boyds' wide assortment of angel bear designs. Boyds Potteryworks™ ranges in price from $8.50 to $36.
Four of the patterns are available in stores now. The 'I've Been a Very Good Bear Collection' and the 'Starry Nights Collection' are due to arrive mid-September.
Each Boyds tabletop piece is crafted of the finest stoneware pottery and is dishwasher-, microwave-, oven-, and freezer-safe. Pieces are oversized and sturdy-great for growin' families with lil' kids who aren't so careful when settin' the table! Along with traditional dinnerware, we also offer a few accessories you'll love to display the whole year through-snack plates, pitchers, and even cookie jars.
