Porcelain figurine titled 'Meditation' by Hummel/Goebel

The Hummel figurine 'Meditation' was created in the early 1960s based on the artwork of Sister Maria Innocentia Hummel, whose charming illustrations of children were transformed into porcelain figurines by the Goebel company in Germany. This particular piece depicts a young girl in traditional German attire holding a letter and basket, capturing a moment of innocent contemplation. Hummel figurines gained immense popularity in the mid-20th century, particularly among American collectors and military personnel stationed in Germany after World War II. These figurines are highly valued by collectors of vintage porcelain, nostalgic memorabilia, and those who appreciate their sentimental portrayal of childhood innocence and traditional European rural life.
