Goebel Hummel Figurines: Heavenly Angel (HUM 21/0)

This is a vintage Goebel Hummel porcelain figurine titled 'Heavenly Angel' (model number HUM 21/0). The piece features a young, stylized angel with short blonde/brown hair looking down with a serene facial expression while holding a lit white candle with a yellow flame. The angel is dressed in an seafoam green gown adorned with small yellow stars. Her wings show a soft multicolored palette of blue, yellow, and orange at the tips. The figurine stands approximately 4.25 to 4.5 inches tall on a square, off-white base. It is crafted from fine earthenware and displays the soft, characteristic matte glaze finish and hand-painted details synonymous with the M.I. Hummel brand produced in Germany. The craftsmanship is evidenced by the detailed sculpting of the gown's folds and the delicate painting of the eyelashes and rosy cheeks. While the underside marks are not visible in this angle, the style and '21/0' size designation suggest a mid-20th-century production. The condition appears to be excellent for its age; there is no visible crazing on the gown or face—a common issue for older Hummels—and the colors remain vibrant with no apparent chips or repairs. The item showcases the high-quality hand-finishing standard of the W. Goebel Porzellanfabrik factory.
