Goebel Ceramic Cup

This is a Goebel German ceramic cup with hand-painted cobalt blue.

The Goebel company, founded in 1871 in Oeslau, Germany, is renowned for its high-quality ceramic production, most famously for the "M.I. Hummel" figurines. However, Goebel also produced a wide array of other decorative items, including vases, plates, and cups, often featuring hand-painted designs and distinctive glazes.

Goebel's decorative wares from the mid to late 20th century often incorporated traditional German artistic styles, including folk art motifs and the use of cobalt blue. The company's commitment to craftsmanship and artistic design has made its pieces highly collectible, with many items appreciated for their aesthetic appeal and the heritage of the Goebel brand.
