Goebel Sacrart – Nativity – 10 figures – Germany – approx. 1958–1960

Beautiful vintage Goebel Sacrart nativity group, made in Germany and comprising 10 hand-painted ceramic/porcelain figures.

The group belongs to the religious Sacrart series from Goebel and is presumed to date from the late 1950s / early 1960s. Several figures have the familiar blue Goebel mark on the underside and are stamped with “Germany” and/or “SACRART.”

The nativity group consists of Mary, Joseph with lantern, Baby Jesus in the crib, three wise men, a shepherd with a sheep, an ox, a donkey, and a loose sheep. In total, 10 figures.

The figures are rendered in warm, soft colors and hand-painted. Particularly the various robes, faces, and accessories are beautifully detailed. As a complete group, the set forms a charming example of Goebel’s religious ceramics from the mid-20th century.

Condition: the nativity group shows age and use-related marks and is not undamaged. Three figures have damage and/or old restorations at the neck area. In addition, one of the kings shows a clear damage/restoration on the underside of the cloak/foot. Furthermore, there are localized light signs of wear, discoloration, and use marks, especially on the undersides.

The damages are shown as clearly as possible in the detail photos. Please view all photos carefully; they are an integral part of the description and condition assessment.

Despite the mentioned defects, the group as a whole remains attractive and it is an interesting vintage Goebel Sacrart nativity for collectors of Goebel, nativity scenes, and religious ceramics.
