Goebel Hummel Figurines Apple Tree Girl And Apple Tree Boy Appraisal

Goebel Hummel Figurines 'Apple Tree Girl' and 'Apple Tree Boy'

A pair of authentic Hummel figurines produced by the Goebel porcelain factory in Germany. The set consists of 'Apple Tree Girl' (No. 141) and 'Apple Tree Boy' (No. 142). Both figurines are crafted from fine earthenware with a hand-painted matte finish. The 'Apple Tree Girl' depicts a young girl in a red headscarf and blue dress perched within the branches of a flowering tree. The 'Apple Tree Boy' features a young boy in a green hat, blue vest, and brown shorts seated in a tree bearing red apples. Each stands approximately 3 to 4 inches tall on an oval cream-colored base. The craftsmanship showcases the signature stylistic elements of Sister Maria Innocentia Hummel, characterized by soft, rounded facial features and a muted, earthy palette. These pieces likely date from the mid-to-short late 20th century, though a specific trademark (TMK) inspection of the underside would confirm the exact production era. The condition appears excellent with no visible chips, cracks, or significant crazing, though light surface dust is present. The painting exhibits high-quality detail consistent with original German manufacturing standards for this collectible series.
