Large bear cookie cutter made by internationally known coppersmith Michael Bonne, from the Martha Stewart Collection and used exclusively by Nordstrom as a promotional item during the spring of 1998, marked with Stewart's large "M" and bee logo, the handle impressed "Nordstrom," 7" high x 6" wide (overall), good overall condition, joints are solid, dried adhesive and shadow on back from former price tag, some tarnish. (To remove tarnish, Bonne recommends using ketchup as a cleaning agent.) Includes decorator card, recipe booklet, and original box with "Martha by Mail" overwrap. The bear cutters were the second lowest production run for any of Stewart's "giant" closed-back designs; only 2,500 of the limited-edition bears were crafted by Bonne. For information on Bonne, see lot #33.
