This Hummel First Love figurine was modeled by master sculptor Helmut Fischer in 1993. It depicts a young boy--similar to Hummel #174, She Loves Me She Loves Me Not--along with his young lady love. The Limited Edition Collector Club piece has a special backstamp, a commemorative tag, and an incised 1994 copyright date. This handcrafted Hummel figurine 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!
