The disease left her unable to use either leg or her right arm, marking the beginning of the young girl’s dignified struggle for survival. After graduating from a dressmaking school, Margarete designed an elephant-shaped pincushion. Rather than being accepted as a sewing tool, the charming little elephant was embraced by children as a toy, soon capturing their imaginations. In the following years, other animal figures followed the little elephant, which was produced as a plush toy. In 1903, Steiff became the first manufacturer of teddy bears in Europe. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe mug is made of Bonna Premium porcelain using the in-glaze transfer printing technique.
