Pigtails (Hummel Figurine #2052)

Pigtails — officially numbered 2052 — captures a playful German countryside moment in porcelain. This charming Goebel creation by designer Helmut Fischer features a young girl with braided pigtails cradling a spirited piglet, embodying the affectionate bond between child and animal.

Standing approximately 3.5 inches tall and measuring around 1.6 by 1.6 inches at the base, Pigtails is crafted in fine glazed porcelain in Germany. It bears the classic bee trademark on its base, marking its authenticity and timeless quality from the late 1990s production run.

Issued in 1999 and retired the same year, this figurine is sought after by collectors for its limited availability and pristine design. Whether found in its original box or lovingly packaged, Pigtails arrives ready to delight as a standalone display or as part of a broader Hummel collection.

Collectors treasure Pigtails for its whimsical subject matter and meticulous hand-painted details, making it an ideal gift, heirloom accent, or centerpiece for any shelf. Its enduring appeal lies in the joy it brings and the story it tells with every gentle smile and carefully sculpted braid on the little girl’s head.
