Little Red Riding Hood Advertising Plaque Chalkware

Fri, 18 May 2012 00:00:00 -0700

Originally produced by Hull as an advertising display for stores carrying their Little Red Riding Hood pottery line decades ago, this plaque design is now extremely rare, with less than a dozen known to exist. The value for a genuine Hull advertising plaque is estimated at around $15,000 dollars, but now, you can have your own plaque to highlight your collection for a fraction of the price.

We have completely hand sculpted our version of this advertising plaque, and reproduced it in chalkware. The plaque is large, 12 x 6.5 inches, roughly the same size as the original. And although this is not, and is not meant to be an exact copy, it has the same features and colors as the original and is sculpted to be dimensional, not flat.

This plaque can be framed, displayed on a plate holder, or hung on the wall. It is sealed with many layers of clear polyurethane for a brilliant, tough finish. It is signed on the back "StoryBook Ceramics" and dated with the year of production.

This plaque is a perfect gift for the Red Riding Hood collector, or anyone who enjoys collecting Hull Pottery.
