Chalkware!!
Description:
8" antique chalkware cardinal on a black branch with green foliage around it. There is also some black and yellow coloring on the base. Most of the paint on the body of the bird is worn. The eyes and beak are still black. This is a very old piece and the wear is consistent with its age. The folk art look of this bird would be a welcome addition to anyone's collection.
Chalkware Figures were a popular commodity from approximately 1860 to 1890. They were made from gypsum or plaster of Paris, formed in a mold and then painted with either oils or water colors. Today these pieces are considered highly collectible folk art.
