Lot #12: Goebel Pony Figurine – West Germany – Vintage Ceramic Horse Collectible

This charming vintage Goebel pony figurine from West Germany captures the spirit of a gentle, sturdy pony with exceptional detail and craftsmanship. Featuring a gradient glaze that transitions from soft cream to deep chestnut and black, the piece is full of warmth and realism. The glossy finish enhances the lifelike appearance, and the posture of the pony—head lowered slightly, legs in a casual stance—adds personality to this classic ceramic collectible. Crafted by the renowned Goebel company, known for its porcelain excellence and beloved Hummel figures, this pony is part of their lesser-known but highly collectible animal series. The base bears the unmistakable blue Goebel mark and “W. Germany” stamp, indicating it was made between 1960 and 1987. These mid-century animal figures are prized not only for their beauty but also for their place in postwar European design history. In excellent condition, this pony shows no chips, cracks, or repairs. The glaze is vibrant and clean, with beautiful natural crazing consistent with age. It's a standout display piece for animal lovers, equestrian enthusiasts, or fans of West German ceramics.
