Title: Vintage Clown Wall Hangings
Post by: yellowrose84 on June 27, 2012, 02:39:05 PM

I have two vintage wall hangings. Does anybody know anything about these? They are not signed. I just thought they were cute.

Are they white in the back and glazed or rough like plaster? If they are glazed look real close to see if a number or anything may be pressed in.  They look like California Pottery from my view.

This is back of the clowns. I don't know what it is made of.

They appear to be chalkware from the middle of the 20th century. Chalkware is another name for decorative plaster
