Description

Vintage 1977 Goebel M.I. Hummel annual collector plate, representing the seventh edition in the original annual series first introduced in 1971 and inspired by the beloved artwork of Sister Maria Innocentia Hummel. Officially titled “Apple Tree Boy” (HUM 270), this hand-painted porcelain plate features a charming bas-relief scene of a young boy seated on the branch of a blossoming apple tree while gazing toward a small bird, with modeled sculptural detail that creates a three-dimensional effect. The year “1977” appears prominently in red at the lower front, accompanied by the M.I. Hummel signature, while the reverse bears the Goebel trademark confirming production by W. Goebel-Porzellanfabrik of Rödental, West Germany. Measuring approximately 7½ inches in diameter, this collectible plate remains in good vintage condition with light, age-appropriate wear.
