About the Item
**Historical Background**
American carnival chalkware flourished from 1900-1950, with bulldogs being among the most popular prizes. These pieces were mass-produced as affordable carnival game rewards, representing accessible Americana folk art.
**Materials and Construction**
Constructed from molded plaster of Paris (chalkware), this piece features the characteristic hollow construction with hand-painted details. The white base coat is topped with oil-based paints in traditional carnival colors—black markings, amber glass eyes, and red collar details. The painting style shows the rapid but skilled brushwork typical of carnival prize decoration.
**Dating**
Based on the modeling style and paint application, this piece dates to approximately 1920-1940, during the golden age of American carnival culture.
