http://www.hoseltonsculptures.com/faq.htm Beautiful hand carved bears created lovingly by Shawn Hoselton, grandson of co-founder Gordon Hoselton. Shawn enjoys working with the raw boulders of marble to carry on the tradition his grandfather started many years ago. Using the same techniques, he sculpts the bears as if they are just “stepping out” of the marble into life.

COMMENT: The one of a kind, signed original bears are excellent gifts for recognition, executive or service awards. These bears will become favorites among personal collections. Each Hoselton Sculpture is engraved with the Hoselton name. You will also find a number on the bottom of each piece. This is the stock number for this item from this studio.
