Chalkware Statues of Women in Classical Style.


These are two recent acquisitions from that fine antique emporium known as Goodwill. Certainly the place to go if you are a frugal collector.

On the right is a Roman style statue in the form of a bathing woman.  Many variations of this exist.  I think this one may be by Roman Art Company Incorporated, probably "Robia Ware". A similar design is made by Forte Originals.

The lady on the left I can't find anywhere, but based on family similarity I am guessing the same manufacturer.  Both statues have the felt protector on the bottom that Roman Art Company normally used.

Examples

I also have this smaller figure, no idea about the age of manufacturer.  It looks like a copy of a classical statue.
