#5017 Vintage Miller Studios chalkware mermaid wall hangings with gold accents.

5.5” tall. Chalkware, a type of plaster or gypsum-based material, was popular for decorative items and figurines from the mid-19th century through the mid-20th century. It allowed for detailed molding and was often painted or finished to resemble more expensive materials like porcelain or bisque. These decorative wall hangings were common in homes, adding a whimsical touch to interiors. Miller Studios, a company known for its chalkware and ceramic creations, produced many such decorative pieces, including these mermaids. Items from the 1960s, like the ones identified, are considered vintage collectibles and are sought after by those who appreciate mid-century decor and nostalgic art. The combination of the playful mermaid motif and the glossy finish with gold accents is characteristic of the era's decorative trends.
