Vintage 1960s Retro Mid Century Modern Esco Style plaster or chalkware figurine by California artist and sculptor Michael "Mike" McKie. This figure was part of The Uglies series, clay people produced for the public in a plaster mold, then sold unpainted to hobby and craft shops. A contemporary article says, "What distinguishes them from other adorable, 'cutesy' statuettes ... is that they are downright ugly."
This pool, billiards, or snookers figure is titled Chalking Up! and features a sleepy or drunken red-nosed fellow chalking his beer bottle instead his cue, with a bottle of Ross beer and the 8 ball on the ground in front of him. He's losing his pants on the back side, which reveals a bandaged butt. The back is signed copyright 1969 M.C. McKie. Likely part of the Hustler Series of similiar statues.
Vintage as-found condition with a few small chips, as is common with the material. About 6 1/2" tall, 3 1/2" wide, and 2 3/4" deep.
