Product description
Goebel W. Germany – Large Black & Gold Turkey Sculpture (Model 32060-22)
German Porcelain, 1970s–1980s · Glossy Finish with Gold Accents
A striking and rare porcelain sculpture by **Goebel, W. Germany**, depicting a proud, full-bodied turkey rendered in deep glossy black with luxurious gold detailing. This impressive figurine showcases the technical refinement and sculptural ambition that characterized Goebel’s production in the 1970s and 1980s—far beyond the brand’s popular figurines and into the realm of large, decorative art objects.
The piece is sculpted with dramatic volume: a broad fanned tail, layered feathers modeled in sweeping curves, and a poised forward stance that gives the bird both weight and elegance. The head and beak are finished in radiant gold glaze, an eye-catching contrast against the piano-black plumage. Gold touches also accent the claws, adding another layer of visual richness.
The sculpture carries the **Goebel W. Germany** stamp on the underside, along with the impressed model number **32 060 22**, corresponding to this large-format version of the turkey design. Measuring approximately **20 cm tall**, it is significantly more substantial than standard Goebel figurines and was likely produced as part of a limited or special decorative series aimed at collectors of contemporary porcelain sculpture.
This piece is a compelling example of West German porcelain aesthetics at the time: bold, glossy, slightly surreal, bridging realism and stylised modernity. Both playful and luxurious, it functions beautifully as a standalone showpiece—on a console, in an Art Deco or contemporary interior, or as part of a curated ceramics collection.
