This is what I believe to be a rare Goebel porcelain piece.
It's very likely that this shepherd girl is one half of a limited set of Goebel bookends - hence the flat back. I have yet to find either the male or female other half of this set anywhere in books, online or off, although I've seen a few ceramic WG bookends from the 1930's online.
This original near mint figurine may the only one left in the world, and have been advised that it is a museum piece.
In the charts below, there is conflict with the mark dates.
If anyone would like to contribute anything, you are welcome.
I am enthused at finding out more.
Cheers
I own the goebal shepherd girl figure along with the boy as a pair i do have photographs and they match the figurine on your website with the same markings. I would be grateful if i could obtain an email address for you so i can send you the photographs
ReplyDeleteHi Sam! I apologize for the very late response. I have not noticed your comment until now, and have not been here a lot. I suppose I've been losing faith in finding info. I'm grateful for your answer and excited as well! My email is antiquerarity@gmail.com
ReplyDeleteif you would still like to sent me the photos and any info at all. I would also love to see the boy! Thank you Sam.
