White Chalkware Poodle Figurine: Vintage 1950s Hand Painted Carnival Kitsch Dog (0239-25)

Perfect for mid-century enthusiasts who love the quirky, nostalgic charm of 1950s carnival prizes.

This vintage white poodle figurine is a classic piece of Americana kitsch. Hand-painted with playful "googly" eyes and textured fur, it captures the whimsical spirit of the atomic era. Its compact size makes it an ideal accent for a retro vanity, nursery shelf, or a dedicated dog lover's collection.

Why this piece stands out: Unlike modern ceramic reproductions, authentic 1950s chalkware has a distinct matte texture and hand-finished character. This poodle features the original black and red accents, serving as a genuine conversation piece that embodies the fun of mid-century decor.

IMPORTANT NOTE: At Darling Della Vintage, we believe every scratch and bit of patina tells a story. Our pieces are 30+ years old and have lived full lives, so gentle wear, tiny chips, or age-worn charm are part of their soul — not flaws. We photograph and describe each item carefully, but please expect natural signs of age. Embracing vintage means embracing history — and we wouldn’t have it any other way.
