Porcelain collector plate titled '25th Annual Collector Plate' by M.J. Hummel/Goebel

This is the 25th Annual Collector Plate produced by Goebel in 1995, featuring a relief design based on the artwork of Sister Maria Innocentia Hummel (M.J. Hummel). The plate depicts a young boy waving by a fence with decorative elements including stars and flowers, characteristic of the nostalgic, idyllic childhood scenes that Hummel was known for. Hummel collector plates became highly sought after among collectors of decorative porcelain and memorabilia during the late 20th century. These limited annual edition plates appeal to collectors of Hummelware who appreciate their charming depictions of childhood, high-quality German craftsmanship, and their value as commemorative items. Collectors particularly value complete sets of these annual plates, with each year's release adding to their collection's significance.
