Goebel Hummel Figurines & Wall Plaques - A collection of German hand-painted earthenware figurines and wall plaques featuring various pastoral and religious motifs. The group includes a figurine of a girl in a red hood sitting on a fence with a basket, a girl seated on a stool sewing beside a black cat, a boy in a black top hat playing a flute, and a seated angel with wings playing a horn. The wall plaques consist of a rectangular relief depicting a Madonna and Child, and a smaller open-frame relief showing a child seated with a butterfly. The pieces are decorated with a characteristic matte and semi-gloss glaze finish. One figurine base features an incised number 112, a blue V-shaped mark containing a stylized bee, a printed copyright symbol followed by the name by W. Goebel, and the printed text West Germany. Another base displays a blue printed mark reading copyright Goebel W. Germany 1984 alongside an incised number 85 4/0. A third figurine is marked with a black rectangular stamp reading Germany and an incised number 2, while a fourth shows a blue V-shaped bee mark, an incised 2., and the printed text Germany. The wall plaques bear the incised signature M. J. Hummel, accompanied by blue V-shaped bee marks and printed stamps for Germany or Western Germany. Additional incised numbers including 48 / 0 and 159 are also visible on the reverse of the plaques.
