Vintage Hummel Goebel "Festival Harmony" angel

Circa 1961/Bavaria, Germany

The Hummel figurines, also known as M.I. Hummel figurines, are a series of decorative porcelain figurines based on the artwork of Sister Maria Innocentia Hummel. These figurines were produced by the W. Goebel Porzellanfabrik in Germany starting in the 1930s. They are characterized by their charming depictions of children and religious figures, often with a nostalgic and sentimental appeal.

This particular figurine, likely "Festival Harmony" (number 173/0), depicts an angel playing a flute with a bird companion, a common theme in Hummel's work that blends childlike innocence with celestial imagery. The production date of 1961 places it within the classic period of Hummel figurine creation, making it desirable for collectors.
