Berliner Monumente, Mini-Miniature, 6 cm
The blue represents the many lakes that exist in and around the city of Berlin, while the green reminds us of all the beautiful and varied nature that surrounds the metropole. The design of this bear is inspired by the wonderful tiles and souvenirs in traditional technique that people love so much. It is a very beautiful technique in which the different colors and shades are separated by thin partitions.
