The first chalkware figurines appeared in 1770, sold by Henry Christian Gayer. Initially, Henry Christian Gayer advertised chalkware figurines as plaster figurines. However, chalkware soon became known as the “poor man’s porcelain” because it was a more affordable version of the ceramic Staffordshire figurines that sat on the mantels of numerous upper- and middle-class homes.

Today, however, Chalkware figurines are no longer associated with poverty—especially when collecting pieces that have been around for years. Antique and vintage chalkware figurines can be worth as much as $1,500 per piece, although you can find some pieces at under $100.
