Hen on Nest Frosted Glass Mid-Century European Collectible Lidded Candy Dish

Rare Vintage Frosted Glass Hen on Basket.

This rare vintage piece is an exquisite example of mid-century glassware, featuring a hen sitting on a basket, crafted from white frosted solid glass. Its realistic design is highlighted by intricate embossed details on the feathers and the interlacing of the basket, with the hen hatching her eggs, head turned to the side, and tail open.

A magnificent <glassé> piece in the shape of a brooding hen in its nest, this item is in excellent vintage condition with no cracks, hairlines, or flea bites.

Historically, similar pieces were staples on 20th-century buffet tables, often used as covered plates, sugar bowls, decorative salt shakers, and sweet dishes.
The "hen in nest" design, especially in frosted glass, was produced by many milk glass manufacturers globally, originally sold as containers for eggs or mustard but now highly prized by collectors.

This vintage hen is a fabulous testament to mid-century glassware and makes a wonderful addition to any collection of chickens or hens in nests.
Perfect for Easter and spring or any occasion, it’s ideal for serving hard-boiled eggs, candies, or storing small treasures.

A lovely gift for chicken lovers or hen collectors!
