Vintage Goebel Hummel Joyful Adventure 356 Porcelain Girl Bird Figurine 1971 West Germany Collectible
Goebel Hummel Joyful Adventure Model 356 German Porcelain Figure Girl Songbird 1971 Vintage Collectable
This vintage Goebel Hummel porcelain figurine is model number 356, titled “Joyful Adventure” and also known as “Gay Adventure.” Dated 1971, it depicts a young girl setting out with a tied travelling bundle, flowers and a small songbird perched on her walking stick.
The figure is formed from moulded porcelain and finished with Goebel’s characteristic soft matte colouring. The girl wears a green coat with brown shoes and carries an orange-red bundle over her shoulder. Sculpted stitching, flowers, clothing texture and the expressive bird provide detailed decorative elements throughout the composition.
Model 356 was originally modelled by Goebel sculptor Gerhard Skrobek in 1963 from the artwork of Sister Maria Innocentia Hummel. The underside carries the blue Goebel W. Germany TMK-5 trademark, while the surviving paper label identifies the figure as “Joyful Adventure.”
The walking stick supporting the bird has previously been broken and repaired. The repaired area remains clearly visible beneath the bird and shows adhesive or restoration material. There is also general age-related surface wear, fine glaze crazing, wear to the paper title label and a patch of finish loss on the side of the base. No additional obvious breaks were identified in the supplied photographs. Please examine every image carefully before purchasing.
Please review all photos carefully and feel free to ask any questions before purchasing. We want you to be 💯 confident with your order.
A great addition for collectors or vintage lovers.
