Expand your Hummel collection with the 1996 Christmas Plate, Christmas Song. This piece was the 2nd issue in a series of annual Christmas plates. It bears a 125th Anniversary Goebel backstamp. The plate also has an incised Hummel signature on the front and decal on the back. This handcrafted Hummel piece comes direct from the world's only authorized producer of Hummel designs. Every piece is back-stamped by Goebel and carries the M.I. Hummel signature. M.I. Hummel products are the result of a successful partnership between W. Goebel Porzellanfabrik (German for porcelain factory) and the talented German artist, Sister Maria Innocentia Hummel. Her paintings of youthful innocence have been transformed by the master artists of the Goebel factory into three-dimensional works of art. Every new Hummel figurine is created using a painstaking process involving over 700 hand operations with many quality checkpoints. Don't let this one pass you by!
