Figurine, Brinn's, Girl with Goose & Laundry Basket, Hummel Style, Bisque Porcelain, Taiwan, Vintage 1960s–1970s

A little girl with a laundry basket on her arm and a white goose at her side — earthy browns, warm beige, soft blue and green, the whole scene painted in the unhurried palette of a Hummel-inspired figurine that knows it doesn't need to shout. Hand painted bisque porcelain, model DA-621.3 stamped on the bottom (the "D" has worn with time, as these things do). Pristine condition, which is not easy to find in a piece this age.

Brinn's China and Glassware Co. was founded in 1934 by Samuel I. Brinn in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, after he lost his scrap iron business and started over as a wholesaler of china and glass. He built the company into one of the most respected importers of ceramic décor in the country — planters, vases, figurines, tableware — and became especially well known for lady head vases. By 1975, Charles Brinn was traveling personally to China to attend the Canton Fair. The company remained family-owned until it closed in the late 1980s.

A wonderful piece for a Hummel-style collector, a farmhouse or cottage interior, a child's room, or a nursery that deserves something with a little history in it.
