The Original 46 Hummels: 1935 Leipzig Debut

Welcome to the historic genesis of the M.I. Hummel legacy. This specialized collection is dedicated exclusively to the "Original 46"—the foundational figurines that made their debut at the 1935 Leipzig Trade Fair 🕰️. Masterfully translated from two-dimensional sketches into ceramic by visionary sculptors like Arthur Möller and Reinhold Unger, these early pieces feature the signature matte glazes and precise, hand-applied brushstrokes that introduced Sister Maria Innocentia's artwork to the world 🎨.
