Porcelain collector plate titled 'Bathtime' by M.I. Hummel for Goebel, 23rd Annual Edition (1993)

The Hummel Annual Plate series began in 1971, featuring charming scenes based on the artwork of Sister Maria Innocentia Hummel. Each year, Goebel produced a limited edition plate with a different design in bas-relief, continuing the tradition of Hummel's endearing depictions of children in everyday activities. Hummel collector plates are particularly valued by enthusiasts of decorative porcelain and nostalgic Americana. The 1993 'Bathtime' plate, showing a young girl washing her doll, appeals to collectors for its sentimental portrayal of childhood innocence and domestic life. These plates are especially sought after by Hummel collectors who appreciate the craftsmanship and the continuation of Sister Maria Innocentia Hummel's artistic legacy.
