Vintage Hummel Goebel Figurine with Seven German Postcards
This lot offers a vintage Hummel figurine by Goebel, presented alongside seven German postcards reproducing Berta Hummel’s well-loved artwork. Hummel figures are among the most recognised German collectables, and this pairing makes an appealing display for collectors of Goebel porcelain and nostalgic illustration.
The figurine shows a young child in a red bonnet and blue skirt, standing beside a lamb on a green grassy base. The modelling is typical of the Goebel range, with soft facial features, gentle colouring and hand-painted detailing. The postcards show a range of Hummel scenes, including a girl washing at a basin, a boy reading with spectacles, a child looking through a telescope, a girl with a cat, a smiling girl holding flowers and an angel beside the Christ child. Together they capture the warm, wholesome charm that has made Hummel’s work popular for generations.
Condition and Collector Appeal
The figurine appears to be in good overall condition from the photographs, with bright colours and no obvious damage visible on the main surfaces. The postcards show clear printed images with some light edge and surface wear consistent with age. Buyers should inspect the lot closely through the images before bidding, as close-up detail may vary. Hummel figures and German postcards continue to attract collectors of vintage European art and gifting, and this lot would suit a Hummel collection, a nursery display or a thoughtful gift for an admirer of traditional German illustration.
