Chalkware was figurines made of gypsum; most typically those made in one of two periods, the first beginning in the late 18th century and ending by the beginning of the 20th century, the second being during the Great Depression. Those made during the first period were more typically serious art; those during the second period were more typically somewhat jocular. Today Chalkware is more commonly created with a plaster substance to create long lasting collectibles.
