Offered in this lot are six (6) Ceramic Figurines of which five (5) are Hummel, circa 1940s-1970s. Hummel figurines (also known as M.I. Hummel figurines or simply Hummels) are a series of porcelain figurines based on the drawings of Sister Maria Innocentia Hummel. Hummel's "art cards" became popular throughout Germany, catching the eye of Franz Goebel, porcelain maker and head of W. Goebel Porzellanfabrik, and the first line was produced in 1935. Figurines include: Little Hiker, Be Patient (girl with geese), Girl with Watering Can, Chimney Sweep, Signs of Spring, and Standing Angel with Lantern. Four (4) of the figurines have the Hummel "bee" hallmark stamp. One figurine has the "Made in US Zone" stamp, a designation that was stamped after World War II, after the partition of Germany into East and West during the Cold War. The figurines, "Be Patient" and "Girl with Watering Can" are in good condition, chips exhibited on remainder of the figurines, angel has a wing broken off. The "Chimney Sweep measures 5.75"H x 2.5"W base, Standing Angel is 2.75"H.
