Chalkware originated in the early 1900's
and is a vibrant and unique vintage accessory that included
statues, lamps, figurines and plaques. Chalkware is
actually made from plaster and offered an affordable
alternative to the more expensive figures of its day.
Today it is a great way to add a retro feel to any decor.
Chalkware is generally figurines made of
sculpted gypsum painted with watercolors making a resurgence
during the Great Depression and were more jocular in nature
than previous figures. These products were primarily
crafted by hand.
