Key Details & Characteristics

- Material: Molded chalkware or plaster rather than true cast metal, though they were commonly painted or glazed with an antique green, bronze, or old gold patina to look metallic. [1, 2]
- Markings: If you look at the back or underside of the neckline, you will typically find an incised model number (such as 521) alongside the studio's initials. [1]
