Degrazia FigurinesDelicate Degrazia Figurines
If you aren't familiar with this name, think Goebel of Hummel fame. Degrazia figurines are all numbered and come from limited editions. If you do a smart watch of eBay you will see many of these figurines up for auction, and if you do some comparisons you might be astonished at what you can buy online for very reasonable prices. However, if your preference is to own original rather than auctioned items, then stick with what you know will be first line quality. These figurines honor the Indian culture of southwest Arizona and primarily feature little children with lovely big dark eyes. You will even be able to find one specially made ornament that commemorates the 100th birthday of Sister Hummel who helped launch the Hummel line of figurines. Call Degrazia figurines the next relative to Hummels as they are produced by Goebel Germany. The history of these delightful figurines will make them even more special. Ted Degrazia, born Ettore Degrazia, lived in Morenci, Arizona and baked his first sculpture in his mom's oven. He eventually went on to earn his Master of Arts and produced a painting called Los Ninos. This painting graced the front of UNICEF cards in 1960 and sold millions worldwide. From then on his work became a household word. Own Degrazia figurines? Then you have a priceless collection.
