Small but full of character, the Bear Cub Netsuke brings Danforth's handcrafted pewter artistry to a collectible animal keepsake for display or gifting. A netsuke is a miniature sculpture originating in 17th century Japan, and this Bear Cub Netsuke is Danforth Pewter's cast-pewter interpretation of that collectible form. Handcrafted from solid pewter in the Middlebury workshop, it is made for windowsills, shelves, desks, small gift assortments, and personal collections.
