Here is a delightfully lively pair of chalkware figures from the 1930's. A young boy and girl dressed in attire of the period play with their "Charlie" spaniel puppies.
They are molded and painted from so-called chalkware, a misnomer, as they actually contain no chalk. Chalkware is a type of decorative figurine or wall plaque made from molded plaster of Paris or sculpted gypsum, usually hand-painted with oils, watercolors, or craft paints. Widely produced in the Depression Era, often as carnival gifts, now becoming an increasingly rare relic from U.S. history.
