AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

A beautiful collection of five hand-painted porcelain bird figurines from the renowned manufacturer Goebel (W. Germany). This lot is of particular interest to collectors as it features three rare TMK-2 "Full Bee" marks from the 1950s and two TMK-3 "Stylized Bee" marks from the 1960s. Each bird is anatomically detailed and displays the vibrant, naturalistic glazing characteristic of early Goebel production.
