Artplas Ornaments (1998) -- The artplas ornaments featured a set of six
ornaments: Santa Riding Train (401196), In Wagon With Toys (400793), Two Girls With Teacup/Saucer (406473),
Girl/Kitten On Hutch (406481), Boy/Girl In Sled (406635), and Girl In Picnic Basket (406627).
These ornaments were not as popular as the resin ornaments, possibly because these were not as well made as looked more
like generic plastic bears than Cherished Teddies. The photo is taken from Enesco's 1998 Cherished Teddies catalog.

Porcelain Ornaments (1998) -- The porcelain ornaments consisted of
a set of six flat porcelain ornaments (353183) matching the following popular figurines: Eric, Grace, Sonja, Kristen, Denise, and Erica.
