Goebel Hummel Figurines: Knitted with Love and Candle Light Angel

This pair of porcelain figurines showcases the classic aesthetic of Goebel Hummel artistry, originating from Germany. The figurine on the left portrays a young girl seated while diligently knitting a pink garment, featuring textured hair tied with a bright orange bow and a teal patterned dress. The figurine on the right is a kneeling angel dressed in a light blue patterned robe, holding a small red candle with a yellow flame. Both pieces are small cabinet-sized ornaments, likely standing between 3 to 4 inches tall. They are crafted from fine earthenware (porzellan) with a characteristically soft, matte finish and hand-painted muted earth tones typical of the mid-20th century Hummel style. Notable features include the highly detailed facial expressions and the textured 'plaster-like' appearance of the hair. The condition appears fair to good; however, there is visible crazing on the underside of the girl's feet and potential minor paint wear consistent with age. No major chips or breaks are immediately apparent from the front view. These pieces likely date from the 1960s to 1980s based on the color palette and modeling style. The craftsmanship is high-quality, representing the iconic Goebel tradition of translating Sister Maria Innocentia Hummel's sketches into three-dimensional ceramic art.
