Hummel is a popular brand of figurines, plates, and other artwork created by the Hummel Company, founded in 1935 by three German sisters. The figurines, which began production in 1935, are usually made from glazed porcelain and feature children dressed in folk costumes. Each figurine is stamped with a unique, numerical copyright, with higher numbers typically denoting more recent designs. 1.511.2501.50 refers to Hummel figurines ranging from the numbers 1511 to 1501.50. These figurines often include children depicted in activities such as fishing or playing a flute. They typically have bright detailing, such as intricate patterns on their clothing, and vibrant colors. The majority of Hummel figurines are hand-painted and feature a glossy finish. They have limited sets of accessories, such as a basket or a fishing pole. These designs are highly sought after by collectors and can be found in many antique collections.
