Welcome to a world of refined elegance and timeless beauty. Meet the “Porcelain Collector,” a sophisticated Polar Bear who cherishes the intricate artistry of Blue & White pottery. This pattern captures the essence of classic Delftware or fine porcelain, translating it into a stunning amigurumi keepsake. The bear herself is crafted from creamy white yarn to match the ceramic theme, featuring a gentle expression and a polished posture.

Her wardrobe is a masterpiece of miniature fashion. She wears a pristine white dress that serves as a canvas for exquisite Cobalt Blue floral embroidery, mimicking the patterns found on antique vases. Over this, she dons a chic Cobalt Blue bolero jacket that adds a pop of rich color. Her accessories are equally detailed: a delicate white lace bonnet frames her face, while she carries a miniature antique teapot, a tiny ceramic plate, and a soft cloth for dusting her treasures. This project is perfect for those who love detailed work and the classic combination of blue and white.

Please note: I strive for accuracy in every pattern, but occasional errors can happen. Thank you for understanding and for enjoying my designs.
