Large Chalkware Statue of Women with Jug

I have what is clearly a widely use mold but with variable paintwork. The style could be described as art nouveau but production is likely to be mid-century.

New Art Wares produced chalkware in the 1940s which is a reasonable estimate of age.  Some sellers are dating it to the nouveau era (ending prior to 1920) but this would be incorrect.

Priced on Etsy at $70. Elsewhere $21-$106

Black and Gold Horses tumbler

A tall glass with a mid-century design.  No one seems to know this maker or pattern.  Found in Goodwill.

I feel like this is probably made by Libbey glassware which is an American company still trading today (1818--)
