Charming vintage Hummel “Village Boy” figurine by Goebel West Germany, featuring a young boy with basket and scarf — a classic mid-century M.I. Hummel porcelain collectible. This vintage Hummel figurine titled “Village Boy” is a classic example of M.I. Hummel’s timeless storytelling and Goebel’s renowned porcelain craftsmanship. The figure depicts a young boy standing proudly with a woven basket, wearing traditional attire including a green jacket, scarf, short trousers, and sturdy boots — a scene rooted in old-world village life.
The piece is authentically marked Goebel W. Germany on the base, confirming its genuine mid-century production. A period paper title label reading “Village Boy” remains affixed, further supporting originality and collector appeal. Hand-painted details include soft facial expression, subtle shading in the clothing, and realistic basket texture, all hallmarks of true Goebel Hummel quality.
The figurine stands approximately 5 inches tall and is structurally intact, with no cracks, chips, or repairs observed. Light age-appropriate surface wear may be present, consistent with vintage porcelain and visible in the provided photos.
