This is one of my favorite items. It is made of chalk. The top lifts off the base which is scooped like a dish. I wonder if this is a trinket box? I've also seen these made into an ashtray. This one is marked on the bottom of the top half "Copyrighted, Design in Kraftrok, Rich-Craft Studios Inc., Jamestown, NY"Here is a link to another one I found on the Internet
I was pleased to find your blog while researching a Rich-Craft studio plaque I have.

1928. The plaque reads Design in Kraftrok. Am I to understand that is chalk? or plaster?
Was good to see your post, It helped my identification.
The one I have is chalk.
ReplyDeleteThat's what's nice about the Internet - sharing information. If you find anything else about this company, I'd love to know about it.

I have a full-bodied, 22" nude female from this company. I can't find any information about the company or the purpose of the statue. Something about the way she's standing on a platform made me think she was for a commercial display. I'll have to check into Jamestown history to find something about the company.
ReplyDeleteI just purchased a 17" by 12" plaque with a Parrot chasing an insect and Bamboo on it. Says "Design In Kraftrok, Rich-Craft Studios Inc, Jamestown, NY" on back. Haven't been able to find anything on it yet either.
