	$75.00	GOEBEL "Blue Boy". Marked with the name of the artist (Thomas Gainsborough), dated 1966. Goebel was founded in 1871 by Franz Detleff Goebel and his son, William. The first porcelain factory started in 1878 and was subsequently named "Wilhelmsefeld". Goebel made a broad variety of exquisite figurines during its over 130 years of history - producing luxury items that quickly became the object of desire for people in Germany, Europe and overseas. Check the company's website for more details on their production (http://www.goebel.com/Home.6.0.html?&L=1&cHash=dee4a6c07e). One very popular line of figurines produced by Goebel is the M.I.HUmmel - introduced first in 1935 at the Leipzig Fair and the result of a collaboration between Sister Maria Innocentia Hummel (who provided the drawings for the figurines) and Goebel master sculptors Reinhold Unger & Arthur Moller.
