Original condition with no touch up or refurbishment. Shipped with USPS Priority Mail.Chalkwareis an American term for popular figurines either made of moldedplaster of Paris(usually) or sculptedgypsum, and painted, typically withoilsorwatercolors.They were primarily created during one of three periods: from the late 18th century to the beginning of the 20th century, during the Great Depression, and during the \'mid-century modern\'era as decorative lamps, figurines and wall decor from the 1940s-1960s. Those created during the earlier period were intended as a more serious decorative art, often imitating the more expensive imported English Staffordshire potteriesfigurines such as Staffordshire dog figurines; those during the second period, by contrast, were more typically somewhat jocular. Early chalkware was often hollow and is difficult to find unblemished.

Heavy, and easy to break or chip, chalkware eventually lost favor to ceramic and plastic alternatives in the 1970s. Remaining pieces of MCM (and earlier) chalkware can be easily found today with more exotic or rare examples fetching hundreds or thousands of dollars by collectors on sale sites and other dealers.
