Description

Little Goat Herder -- This porcelain collector plate from the M.I. Hummel Gentle Friends collection by the Danbury Mint features a rosy-cheeked boy standing in an alpine meadow bursting with yellow wildflowers, snow-capped peaks behind him, and two adorable baby goats at his feet. Trimmed in 23kt gold, this plate carries plate number VG1426 and comes with its original Certificate of Authenticity registered to Judy Meyer. The edition was strictly limited to the production capacity of 25 firing days, making this a genuinely scarce piece for serious Hummel enthusiasts.

Friends -- A tender girl in a woodland setting reaches out to a wide-eyed fawn in this richly detailed Danbury Mint porcelain plate from the Gentle Friends collection. Gold trim gleams along the rim, and the M.I. Hummel signature appears on the face of the plate. Plate number VG1426 is hand-written in gold on the reverse, and a Certificate of Authenticity is included.

Farm Boy -- A mischievous little lad leans against a red barn door while a trio of pink piglets scrambles around his boots in this charming Gentle Friends plate. The 23kt gold rim and crisp M.I. Hummel signature anchor the design beautifully. Plate number VG1426 is noted on the back alongside the Danbury Mint mark and a Certificate of Authenticity.

Feeding Time -- Autumn colors frame a spirited girl tossing feed to a rooster and fuzzy yellow chicks in this warm and lively Gentle Friends plate. The Danbury Mint porcelain is trimmed in 23kt gold and carries plate number VG1426. Its matching Certificate of Authenticity with the rooster-themed border design is included and perfectly complements the farmyard scene.

Strolling Along -- A carefree boy ambles down a sunlit country path with a loyal dog trotting beside him in this idyllic Gentle Friends plate. The 23kt gold trim frames the vivid scenic artwork beautifully, and the plate is marked VG1428 on the reverse, the only plate in this lot with a slightly different number. A Certificate of Authenticity is included. Also included with this lot are five original Priscilla 4-Grip Plate Hangers by Roberts Colonial House, sized for 8 to 11 inch plates, still in their original Ben Franklin store packaging, plus the original foam shipping sleeves for all five plates.
