Where would Easter be without the laughter of children? Cheerfully, the boy carries a colorfully decorated Easter egg suspended from a stick on his shoulder. Together with the other five Easter children in the series he can be used to create imaginative Easter scenes.

Dressed in her prettiest Sunday dress and full of excitement, the little girl with braids in her hair squats in the fresh spring meadow. This figurine with her radiant charm, aesthetic design and harmonious coloring joins the range of Easter figurines designed by Grete Wendt.

In dieser Form wurde der emsige Verpackungskünstler noch nie gefertigt. Ideengeber für die Figur war eine historische Zeichnung von 1926, die ein sitzendes Heinzelmännchen zeigt, welches etwas auf dem Schoß trägt. Was genau, blieb Grete Wendts Geheimnis. Uns inspirierte die geheimnisvolle Zeichnung zum Entwurf des Heinzels mit Geschenk.

The Girl with Cherry Blossom will add a colorful note to the “Blossom Kinder and Friends” collection, from spring 2015 onwards. With her delicate pastel tones and intricately crafted branch of cherry blossom she strikes an impressive figure and provides inspiration for colorful spring displays or personal gifts.

As a harbinger of the new season, the Girl with Winter Aconite announces nature’s reawakening. With their yellow flowers, winter aconites colorfully herald the approaching spring. From the end of January, when in a mild winter the carpet of snow begins to melt, they pop their heads up above the ground, forming a sea of yellow blooms. A new addition to the “Blossom Kinder and Friends” collection, this happy little girl provides inspiration for fresh springtime decorating, from spring onwards.

The year’s first rays of sun bring nature back to life. It starts slowly, visible only to the eye that is searching for it, until finally bursting with energy and color, the tulips announce in their infinite variety that spring is here! Bearing this joyful message a boy has now come to swell the ranks of Blossom Kinder.

Es macht Freude, die vielen liebevollen Details zu entdecken, die dem Mädchen, das dieses Jahr die Schar der fröhlichen Blumenkinder ergänzt, seinen Charme verleihen: die frechen Zöpfe, das gepunktete Kleid, der feine Blusenkragen. Detailverliebtheit zeichnet auch den Blaustern aus, den es in seinen Händen hält. Sechs grazile Blätter vereinen sich zu zarten Blütensternen, die durch ihre lasierende Bemalung in unterschiedlichen Nuancen schimmern. 

Beeindruckend ähnlich sehen sich die zarte Blume und ihr hölzernes Abbild, welches das fröhliche Mädchen in den Händen hält. Fünf schneeweiße Kelchblätter rahmen die grazilen gelben Staubblätter, die mit feinem Pinsel und besonders ruhiger Hand gemalt werden.

Mindestens genauso faszinierend ist das filigrane Blumenmuster, das den Rock des Mädchens ziert – fast 30 winzige Blümchen erblühen auf dem rosaroten Stoff. Auch die Haarsträhnen, die unter der Mütze hervorlugen, und die frechen Zöpfe gehören zu den liebevollen Details, die dem Mädchen einen unverwechselbaren Charme verleihen.

The birds all vary in size and have different colored plumage. They get their individual look through the application of translucent paint that makes their feathers shimmer in a wide range of shades and colors.

This happy little girl, designed by Grete Wendt, does not appear as an individual figurine in any previous old catalogues or price lists. This leads us to believe that she has never before been sold in this particular form anywhere in the world.

In high spirits, these small ducklings tumble from one adventure to the next. And as their heads can be moved, they spend their time looking either cheekily ahead or quizzically behind them. The perfect gift for all small chicks stepping out in life with big strides – on their first day in kindergarten, or when they start school for the first time.

Twins Hans and Sigrid Wendt were born on October 9, 1930. On the occasion of their christening in March 1931, their mother Olly Wendt designed differently colored and themed variants of a twin brother and sister pair as gifts for the godparents and guests attending this momentous event – including this particular pair – so that each guest could take home a completely personal keepsake of the big day.

The designs for the musical bunnies with their slatted limbs from the 1920s evoke a sense of the unusual coupled with the endearing.

This year we are adding two further variations to the three-tiered Flower Meadow: a five-tiered one and a smaller version of the three-tiered one. This will provide more options for displaying the Blossom Kinder and their Friends on a stage worthy of them.

How the Moon Family came into being is described in a poem that appeared in August 1933 in “Hans Kunterbunt”, a supplement in the ‘Leipziger Neueste Nachrichten’ newspaper. Tired of living in the sky, the family wanted to experience other places. So they asked the toymaker to help them. “Let him carve us quickly out of good wood; we will then travel the world as wooden samples; and later we will decide whether we like it better here or there!” They liked it here in Germany and they have also become sought-after collectables all over the world. An excellent reason to bring them back into the collection in May 2016 – with all the original cast, just as Olly Wendt designed them in 1925.

Grete Wendt loved the world of fairy tales and she used her fascination with them to create a whole series of fairy tale figurines. These include Cinderella with her turtle doves – the best-known scene in the Brothers Grimm version. What is less well known is that Grete Wendt also designed a glass slipper that according to her sketches should have been placed next to the little bench. What has become of the shoe is known only to Cinderella and Grete Wendt.

In August 2015, a group of figurines who were there right at the start of this creative enterprise will be returning to the collection: the Berry Pickers. In 1913, Grete Wendt entered a competition to create “tasteful souvenirs”. With great success, as her Berry Pickers took second prize. After the prize-wining group of figurines had appeared in numerous magazines she received many orders, and these finally gave her the impetus, two years later, to found the Wendt & Kühn workshops.
