This plate is from the Cherished Teddies Four Seasons Plate Collection. Representing ‘summer’, this plate depicts, in relief, a bear walking along under a parasol with an ice cream cone. Ice cream cones also decorate the rim of the plate.

This plate, along with the other 3 plates in the series, was issued in 1997 and retired in 1999. This one comes in the original Styrofoam packaging but no longer has its original outer packaging.
