Hummel figurines are purely based on the drawings of Sister Maria Innocentia Hummel, and when she officially permitted the famous porcelain company W. Goebel Porzellanfahrik to manufacture statues based on her drawings, a new era of art and culture initiated. Goebel had full rights to manufacture and sell these figurines, and after the death of Sister Maria, the company set o a team of artists to ensure that the same style be observed while creating Hummel figurines. After almost 70 years, Goebel in collaboration is still the sole producer of Hummel figurines and are making sure that legacy of Sister Maria is maintained.

Hummel figurines are mainly based on children, as Sister Maria had a deep love for children. An untrained eye may overlook it, but in fact, Hummel figurines are a very complex artwork. Each figurine goes through a lengthy procedure spanning over weeks and undergoes as much as 700 separate hand operations before it comes into its final shape. Hummel figurines are crafted and painted by skilled workers who have undergone a training exercise of three years under Goebel. Many complex figurines are the result of more than 30 molded and assembled parts, which are afterwards thrice heated at very high temperatures.
