Designer Avocado Plush Appraisal

Anthropomorphic Avocado Plush Toy

This is a plush toy designed to resemble a cartoon avocado. The main body of the avocado is a light green color, representing the fleshy part of the fruit, with a darker brown circular patch in the center, symbolizing the pit or seed. The outer rind of the avocado, forming the border of the plush toy, is a lighter, muted blue-green color. The toy features embroidered facial details: two small, dark circular eyes, two subtle pink blush marks on the cheeks, and a simple black stitched smile. The overall shape is an elongated oval, typical of avocado fruit, with a flattened bottom allowing it to sit upright. Two small, stubby brown legs, likely made of the same plush material, protrude from the bottom of the toy, suggesting a whimsical, anthropomorphic design detail. The material appears to be a soft, short-pile plush fabric, common for children's toys, which gives it a comforting and cuddly texture. Based on the visible condition, the plush toy appears to be in good, clean condition with no obvious signs of wear, tears, stains, or damage. The stitching appears intact and well-executed, indicating decent craftsmanship for a mass-produced item. While no specific maker's marks are visible in the image, the provided brand 'TEDi GmbH & Co.' suggests it is a retail item from a general merchandise chain, implying a relatively modern manufacturing origin, likely within the last decade. It exemplifies a popular trend of food-themed plush toys, appealing to a broad demographic.
