Bob Olszewski had been creating miniatures for many years using the lost wax method prior to creating miniature reproductions of Goebel’s M.I. Hummels and Royal Doulton figurines. Another artist suggested to Bob that he might be violating a trademark so he wrote both companies asking for permission. Royal Doulton licensed him to reproduce their figurines in miniature and Goebel asked to see his factory which they found consisted of a closet in his house. Impressed with his abilities to miniaturize, Goebel offered Bob a contract as “Master Artist” in July of 1979 and Goebel Miniatures Studio in California was created. Later on he created Olszewski Studios and is well known for his unique pieces licensed and created for the Disney Corporation.
