View CHRISTOPHER RADKO RIDING BEARBACK Santa polar bear Christmas ornament retired with current marketplace pricing, condition, product images and item details. Country of Manufacture: Poland. Christopher Radko 98-158-0 Riding Bearback Santa Polar Bear Ornament 🛠️ Item Overview Brand: Christopher Radko — legendary name in hand-blown glass Christmas ornaments. Model / MPN: 98-158-0, commonly called “Riding Bearback” or “Santa on Polar Bear.”  Production Era: Mid-to-late 1990s; some sources list as 1996, others say 1998.  Origin: Made in Poland , where many vintage Radko glass ornaments were crafted.  Condition: Used — “Very good” per seller notes; no major damage reported in comparable listings. 📐 Specifications Height / Size: About 3 in   Material: Mouth-blown glass, hand-painted with artistic detail — typical Radko craftsmanship. Technique: Hand-blown in European glass studios, then painted and glittered by hand.  Markings: Style number “98-158-0” (“Riding Bearback”) found on listings. Country of Manufacture: Poland  ✨ Highlights & Collector Notes Part of Radko’s retired vintage ornament line — Radko no longer produces this style. Polar bear and Santa imagery is a fun and whimsical departure from traditional sleigh-based designs; appeals to both Radko collectors and bear-themed ornament fans. Given the model number (98-158-0), it aligns with other 1990s Radko pieces, a period when Radko ornaments were hand-made across European glass workshops with very hands-on craftsmanship. Collectible demand: While not among Radko’s ultra-rare limited editions, similar versions have consistently sold in the ~$30–$40 range on the secondary market.  Replacement potential: Because this design is discontinued, having a well-preserved example is valuable — especially for collectors who want to maintain or restore themed displays. 📦 Shipping & Handling Secure packaging: will wrap carefully in bubble and acid-free tissue, then place in a sturdy box to protect fragile glass. Ships every business day (Mon–Fri) with tracking. Combined shipping available for multiple purchases. 💬 Questions Feel free to ask for more photos (close-ups of cap, paint, glitter, or any wear).
