This adorable little figurine is a fun blast from the past, made way back in 1960, which means it’s over 60 years old now. It’s a vintage Wagner Apel Bertram figurine, showing a young boy with a surprised look on his face as a cheeky goose nips at his behind. He’s holding a pitcher, and the whole scene has a playful, down-to-earth charm. The colors are soft and classic, and the details—like the boy’s wide-eyed expression and the goose’s determined nip—really show off the craftsmanship from that era. Measuring about 4 inches tall and wide, it’s a small treasure but pretty eye-catching, and it’s in near mint condition. For collectors or anyone with a love for quirky vintage finds, this piece would be a standout and a real conversation starter in any room.
Wagner Apel is a respected German porcelain maker, with a long history of producing quality hand-painted figurines. Pieces from the Bertram line, especially those in the “Hummel style,” are sought after for their sweet, wholesome themes and lovely artistry. This kind of figurine was especially popular mid-century, often given as gifts or collected by people who loved their playful, sometimes mischievous characters. Because the Wagner Apel name doesn’t print as many pieces as bigger brands, finding one from 1960 and in near mint shape makes it quite rare. These figurines are beloved for capturing simple, everyday moments with warmth and humor, and the fact that this one has survived so many decades makes it a delightful piece of nostalgia and a real collector’s gem.
