Porcelain figurine titled 'I Brought You A Gift' by Goebel Hummel

This Hummel figurine was produced by Goebel in West Germany, likely around 1987. It features a child carrying a basket, representing the innocent charm of childhood that characterized Sister Maria Innocentia Hummel's original artwork upon which these figurines are based. Hummel figurines became immensely popular collectibles in the mid-20th century, particularly among American consumers who were drawn to their sentimental depictions of childhood. Collectors of Hummel figurines value these pieces for their craftsmanship, nostalgic appeal, and the stories they tell about traditional European childhood. This particular piece, with its M.I. Hummel Club association, would be especially sought after by dedicated Hummel collectors.
