How do you identify Goebel figurines?
1 Answer

To identify Goebel figurines, look for the maker's mark on the bottom. The porcelain maker began adding marks to its pieces in 1935 and has used a variety of logos to identify pieces since. Once you have located the marking, compare it to images of the company's markings available on the pages of trusted online resources to determine whether the figurine is an authentic Goebel and get a rough idea of when it was made. If you need assistance, enlist the help of a certified appraiser or experienced antiques dealer. On 1stDibs, find a diverse assortment of Goebel figurines.
