I have a Victorian couple made out of the same stuff you are talking about. But a lot of the paint is worn off. I've been holding onto it for years because I have never seen anything like it before.

A salt and flour dough is made from 2 c flour, 1/2 c salt and 1/2 c warm water and you knead it for about 10 minutes until the texture is smooth, not grainy. It is worked as you like and baked in a slow oven(200 degrees) until completely dry.

On an antique show, they showed a group of figurines made from old electrician's porcelain, which could be moulded, painted and fired to keep its shape. I can't remember the name of it, but it was as brittle and white as top quality porcelain. I believe they used it in the beginning / middle of the century for electrical work.

They may be old chalk figurines they used to give away at carnivals, circuses, etc. If they are, they may be worth a pretty penny!

I doubt a picture would do much .You have to feel the weight and texture of these figures. Has anybody heard of such a clay made with Salt/Flour and such .An No it isn's in anway PLAY DOUGH. Play Dough dries out and has lttle weight.
I have tried researching this stuff on the web. Maybe somebody can give other websites I might have missed.

Would it be possible to post a picture of your figurines to help us to figure out what they are made of.
