Condition Note (Please Read - Sold As-Is):

This set is in very good vintage condition overall but is being sold strictly As-Is to reflect normal age wear. Because these are authentic mid-century chalkware pieces, they show typical light paint scuffs and minor plaster dings here and there. Most notably, the Virgin Mary figurine has a visible chip on the top front edge of her veil that exposes the white plaster underneath. Please look closely at the dedicated close-up photo of Mary\'s veil to review this flaw. There are no major structural breaks or glued repairs. The original colors remain remarkably bright and crisp.

Shipping & Handling:

Chalkware is heavy and brittle. This entire lot will be professionally packed using a secure double-boxing method, with every individual piece heavily bubble-wrapped and cushioned to ensure safe transit. Due to the total weight of the plaster figures, shipping will be calculated automatically based on your location.
