Description

The process to render the drawing into a completed porcelain figurine could take months and each step received the approval of the Sisters of Siessen. With all the work that goes into making these figurines, it’s no wonder that they’re so highly prized. World War II & Its Impact Goebel decided to render Hummel’s drawings as porcelain figurines. After initial resistance, M.I. Hummel agreed, reserving the right to choose the official color palette and approve every single figurine.

In 1940, Germany stopped sending products for Dubler to sell. Faced with huge demand, Dubler decided to create new products that closely followed the original art of M.I Hummel but were designed and manufactured in New York. The fake figurine might have missing, added, or displaced features. For example, the head is turned to the other side, the facial expression is different, or a patch of grass is missing. Look for any odd hues and shades on your figurine. If you can, reference the colors of a verified Hummel. It doesn’t need to be exactly the same figurines. The color palette can be recognized across genuine Hummel figurines. Hummel Figurines Price Guide M.I. Hummel’s enticing designs made for lots of copycats, imitations, and pieces inspired by her drawings. In addition to the pieces made during World War II, Asian manufacturers have flooded the market with copies and reproductions, which are worth considerably less.Finally, real Goebel-made Hummels use a specific color palette defined by Maria Innocentia herself. Fake Hummels are usually colored similarly, but not quite the same, making it easy to spot a reproduction. Goebel produced the first Hummel figurines in 1935 and production continues until this day. Each one goes through a long, painstaking process involving multiple artisan sculptors, master mold makers, and painters. By that time, Dr. Herbert Dubler and Ars Sacra had already established a New York-based distribution company. Dubler brought a number of Hummel’s products from Germany into the United States market—postcards, folders, and later figurines. Eclectic grouping to include (4) Royal Albert porcelain Beatrix Potter figures, each with chips and damage, Beatrix Potter book, painted watering can, assorted Clarice Cliff style table items, (4) Royal Copenhagen cups and ramekin, Royal Copenhagen plates, Rumah Manis hand painted plate and bowl Bali, pottery plates, art pottery bowl, art glass vessel with chips at rim and brass pierced stand, This lot is consigned from the Personal Collection of Vladimir Kagan, 1927-2016.

There is a good chance to sell your valuable Hummel figurines at a fair price, though you never know with auctions. Estate Sales Realism and accuracy were key to their appeal: as the desirable characteristics of Hereford cattle changed over time so did Gredington's models of the breed. After Hummel’s death in 1946, this right was transferred to an Artistic Board of the Sisters of Siessen, who continue to closely guard Hummel’s philosophy and artistic style to this day. Franz Goebel & Figurine Production Forgeries often weigh less than real Hummel figurines. The Goebel company uses a specific porcelain mix which makes the final product feel rather solid. Copies frequently use cheaper materials like chalk, plaster, or even plastic. Some were in production for many years. Lesser known breeds, such as Galloways, had shorter runs and consequently rank high on the most-wanted list.Except for a few short breaks during World War II and in the early 2000s, the figurines have been in continuous production, breathing life into hundreds of M.I Hummel’s drawings. M.I. Hummel’s Life & Figurine Conception These figurines display a group of school boys and a group of school girls, respectively. Each figure depicts the students standing together with their school supplies. One of the most popular Hummel figurines is “Adventure Bound.” The scene depicts six characters, equipped with a large spear and a lantern, venturing into the world.
