Item: 155614 Mold: 214/* Condition: New in the original box Virgin Mary: mold 214/A/M/I - 6.5" Joseph: mold 214/B/I - 7.5" Infant Jesus: 214/A/K/I - 3.5" These figurines are part of the original 1951 version of the Hummel 16 piece Nativity set modeled by master sculptor Reinhold Unger. The M.I. Hummel Nativity Set is a wonderful set of 16 figurines modeled by master sculptor Reinhold Unger in 1951, and complete with a wooden stable as the 17th piece. Like all M.I.Hummel works of art, the Nativity Set was inspired by the drawings of Sister Maria Innocentia Hummel, who often illustrated the birth of Jesus, especially in her charming religious cards. The exceptions are the three Camels, that don't have mold numbers since they weren't designed by Sister Hummel. Click to see all the M.I. Hummel Nativity Set items at . See more M.I. Hummel items in the CollectorsLine eBay Store! About M.I. Hummel M.I. Hummel products are the result of a successful partnership between W. Goebel Porzellanfabrik and a talented German artist, Sister Maria Innocentia Hummel. Her images of youthful innocence have been transformed by the Master Artists of Goebel into original M.I. Hummel works of art. Berta Hummel was born in Bavaria in 1909 with a wonderful gift - an instinct for observing her world and translating her observations into drawings, especially of children. In 1927, Berta enrolled in Munich's famed Academy of Applied Arts. T her talent matured and survived rigid training with its spontaneity intact. Religion had always been important to Berta. She befriended two Franciscan Sisters from a teaching order that emphasized the arts. Berta decided to enter the Convent of Siessen upon graduation in 1931, and three years later, took the name Maria Innocentia. The young Sister found herself in a setting that encouraged her talents. Soon, small German publishers began printing some of her artwork in the form of postcards. These charming cards came to the attention of Franz Goebel, the head of a porcelain company bearing his name. He was in search of a subject for a new line of figurines. And it was! Franz Goebel proposed to Sister Hummel the idea of transforming her drawings into figurines. An agreement was reached with the Convent granting Goebel the sole right to create three-dimensional works of art based on Sister Hummel's drawings. The artist worked personally with Goebel Master Sculptors and Painters to create the new products. The first figurines were introduced in 1935 and were immediately successful. Tragically, Sister Hummel died in 1946 at only 37 years of age. But her artistic legacy was carried on by Goebel. Even today, Goebel artists discuss each new M.I. Hummel work of art with an Artistic Board at the Convent of Siessen. Standards of craftsmanship established more than six decades ago have been strictly preserved. And M.I.Hummel figurines continue to charm the world. Read more about M.I. Hummel Payment Information: We accept PayPal, MasterCard and Visa. Please remit payment within 3 days of purchase.
