Berenstain Bears figurines – Ebeling & Reuss (1983)

IMG_5595One of the most beautiful – and treasured – parts of my collection are the ceramic items produced by Ebeling & Reuss in 1983.  The company made a wide variety of figurines, music boxes, plates, and decorative kitchen items (mugs, pitcher, cookie jar), and these are all LISTED HERE.

This post features the 48 known figurines, a wonderful collection of items that can be assembled by any collector fairly easily through sites like eBay.  I have wished for years that I could land my hands on an original Ebeling & Reuss 1983 catalog – or that another collector would list all the pieces of this collection…. well, today I am that person.

The three Christmas figurines are designed to be displayed as a group. I love this scene!

This “lost” figurine of the Bear Family in winter (official title unknown) was discovered by collector Gypsy Todd in 2024. We originally thought there were 47 items in the collection, but it now appears that there are at least 48. Perhaps other unknown figurines are out there, too!  We really need to get our hands on an Ebeling & Reuss catalog from 1983!

  1. Was there ever a tee shirt made with a Berenstain on it dressed in a suit of armor? If so can you e-mail me a picture of it. Thanks

  2. I have had the three piece Berenstein Bears Christmas scene for aboout 28 yrs. Do you know of any sites where I could purchase another set for my grand daughter?
    Thank you.
