Lot 119: A Collection of Goebel M.I. Hummel Hand Painted Ceramic Figurines
A collection of hand-painted matte-glazed ceramic figurines produced by Goebel based on the designs of M.I. Hummel. The grouping includes several classic subjects: a girl in a pale green pinafore holding a watering can, identified as Little Gardener; a seated boy in a green hat with a bird perched on his foot; a girl with pigtails wearing a backpack, known as School Girl; and a boy in a green jacket carrying a wicker basket. The figurines are decorated in a characteristic muted colour palette. The figurine of the girl with the watering can features a clearly visible incised signature M. I. Hummel on the top of the circular base. One figure retains an orange adhesive lot tag numbered 119.
Condition report:
The collection appears to be in good vintage condition. There are no visible chips, cracks, or signs of professional restoration to the delicate areas, including the fingers, the bird, and the watering can spout. Some minor surface dust and adhesive residue from previous labels are present.
