The base is stamped with the blue stylized bee logo and the number “20,” confirming its authenticity and period of manufacture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis hand-painted ceramic piece features a young girl standing in front of a toy wooden horse, holding a riding stick and a horn tucked under her arm. Her eyes are closed in a solemn pose, suggesting a moment of thought or prayer before play. The figurine is crafted in classic Hummel style, with soft pastel colours, delicate detailing, and a gently aged glaze.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlease note there is a small chip on the horse’s ear and damage to the end of the horn under the girl’s arm. These flaws are clearly shown in the photos and are reflected in the price. Despite the imperfections, this remains a wonderful example of mid-century Hummel artistry and would suit both collectors and lovers of nostalgic European porcelain figures.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe photographs form part of the description and show the figurine from all sides, including the base and trademarks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e*If you need more pictures just send me a message.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlease see pictures, ask any questions, and make sure you're happy before you buy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGreat piece for collectors!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHeight 11.5 cm\u003cbr\u003e\nWidth 9.5 cm\u003cbr\u003e\nDepth 7.5 cm\u003cbr\u003e\nWeight 151 g\u003cbr\u003e\n***Your order will be shipped the day after the order date.\u003cbr\u003e\n**The products are packaged carefully to prevent damage during shipping.\u003cbr\u003e\nℹ️ Taxes \u0026amp; Import Duties\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor most countries: Buyers are responsible for any customs duties, VAT, or import taxes that may apply under their local laws.
