Porcelain figurine titled 'Good Hunting' by Hummel/Goebel

History

This Hummel figurine was created by the German company W. Goebel Porzellanfabrik, based on the drawings of Sister Maria Innocentia Hummel. The 'Good Hunting' figurine (also known as model #307) was first introduced in the 1950s and depicts a young boy in hiking attire with binoculars, accompanied by a small rabbit at his feet. Hummel figurines became immensely popular collectibles, particularly in the United States after World War II when American soldiers stationed in Germany brought them home as souvenirs. These charming porcelain pieces are highly valued by collectors of fine porcelain figurines and Hummel enthusiasts for their nostalgic depictions of childhood innocence and detailed craftsmanship. The combination of quality German porcelain work and the heartwarming scenes based on Sister Hummel's artwork has ensured their enduring appeal.
