These ‘Chalkwares’ are cast in plaster, the mould being an original Staffordshire Pottery version from England.
The Staffordshire was the cheaper product to begin with – the chalkwares were cheaper again! They were popular in the US & Australia, most probably as prizes at fairgrounds and inexpensive presents.  As they are made from fragile materials, they are not common.
