Description :

Celebrate the warmth of the season with “Tree Trimming Time,” a porcelain figurine from the Berta Hummel Studio Collection by Goebel. Model BH12, released in 1996, this piece features a boy and girl joyfully decorating a Christmas tree, rendered in soft pastel tones with expressive detail. Inspired by the gentle artwork of Sister Maria Innocentia Hummel, the figure captures a moment of holiday tradition and childlike wonder.

Crafted in Germany with Goebel’s signature quality, this figurine stands approximately 6" tall and 6" wide.  Original box included (box has noticeable shelf wear).

Note:  Berta Hummel (later Sister Maria Innocentia) was a German artist whose drawings of children were first translated into figurines by Goebel in 1935. The “Tree Trimming Time” figure continues that tradition, blending faith, innocence, and seasonal warmth


Dimensions : 6 in W x 6 in H
