Vintage Goebel Hummel “Serenade” #85

Mid-20th Century/Bavaria, Germany

Goebel Hummel figurines are highly collectible ceramic pieces, originally produced by the W. Goebel Porzellanfabrik in Germany. They are based on the artwork of Sister Maria Innocentia Hummel, a Franciscan nun, whose charming drawings of children captured the hearts of many. The figurines are known for their detailed craftsmanship, lifelike expressions, and nostalgic depiction of childhood innocence.

The "Serenade" figurine, model #85, features a young boy in a top hat playing a horn, embodying the whimsical and heartwarming style characteristic of the Hummel collection. These figurines were produced over many decades, with different "trademark" (TMK) stamps on the base indicating the period of manufacture, which can influence their rarity and value among collectors.
