Goebel Bisque figurine of the Virgin Mary
Description
Germany/Mid 20th Century
The Goebel Porcelain Manufactory, founded in 1871 in Rodental, Germany, is renowned for its artistic porcelain creations, most famously the "Hummel" figurines. Goebel also produced a significant range of religious figures, including Madonnas, often crafted with exceptional detail and artistry.
Bisque porcelain, characterized by its matte, unglazed finish, is favored for its ability to capture fine details and a soft, lifelike appearance. Goebel's use of bisque for their Madonna figures suggests a focus on artistic quality and a departure from purely decorative, mass-produced items, often indicating pieces intended for collectors or as significant devotional objects.
