What better way to fight off the seasonal blues than to treat yourself to a Hummel. For those of you who somehow missed the Hummel craze, "Hummel figurines are a series of porcelain collectibles inspired by the drawings of Maria Innocentia Hummel, a German artist and Franciscan nun. These figurines depict charming scenes of children engaged in various activities, often reflecting pastoral life. After World War II, American soldiers stationed in Germany popularized Hummels by sending them home as gifts, leading to a surge in their collectibility."
Here we have a charming figurine of two young girls, one carrying a pie while the other is licking her finger. Dee-lightful! This piece is in pretty good condition but it has two very minor flaws. The tip of one of the girl's bow has the tiniest of chips, as does the end of the other girl's braid. I'm not sure what the numbers underneath the base mean. Production numbers?
My mom left behind a nice collection of Hummels. I am selling a well preserved set of Hummel bookends (See my listing) as well as the 8 individual Hummel figurines. (Just search my listings.) For you Hummel fanatics I am willing to accept an offer for all 8 Hummels plus the bookends.

Mom collected antiques her entire life. She loved going to flea markets and thrift stores in search of hidden treasures. Mom actually used to have an antique store on Gramercy Park. Now that she has passed I am selling off those pieces from the store that she brought home after high rents forced her out of business.
