Description: Vintage Chestnut Lane Creations Chalkware Snowmen Handpainted Signed Iowa Inv.#76 Chalkware denotes a type of ornamental figurines cast from gypsum-base plaster of paris. Ornamental chalkware became popular in the United States in the 19th Century. Much easier and cheaper to make than ceramics. The molded plaster of paris simply dried to hard pieces that didn't need to be glazed and fired in a kiln As a cheaper alternative to ceramics, chalkware was an option for the more creative. If you have chalkware , don't worry about chipping and never clean them beyond a light dusting, as their fragile outer layers of paint can come off easily. The older a piece is the more chips it will have and that's normal for collectibles. I have been collecting Snowmen and Santa Clauses for over 30 year and these snowmen are out of that collection. .
