Porcelain figurine titled 'Angel with Accordion' by Goebel Hummel

History

This figurine is part of the M.I. Hummel collection, produced by Goebel in West Germany. Based on the original artwork of Sister Maria Innocentia Hummel, these cherubic angel figurines were manufactured from the 1930s through the late 20th century. The piece appears to bear the Stylized Bee trademark (TMK-3), which was used between 1958 and 1972, placing this example in the mid-century period. Hummel figurines became beloved collectibles worldwide, particularly appealing to enthusiasts of vintage German porcelain and nostalgic decorative art. Collectors value these pieces for their charming depictions of children and angels, fine craftsmanship, and historical significance as icons of mid-20th-century European ceramic art. The angel musician series, including this accordion player, remains especially popular among Hummel collectors for its whimsical charm and excellent detail work.
