Miniature Blue Milk Glass Hen on Nest, c. 1950s-1970s

Story

While large 'Hen on Nest' dishes were Victorian breakfast staples used to serve actual eggs, these tiny versions emerged as a delightful mid-century obsession.

Maker / Origin

The Westmoreland Glass Company of Pennsylvania was the undisputed king of this form, producing them in hundreds of colors and sizes for nearly a century.

Condition & Value

The piece appears to be in excellent vintage condition with no visible chips to the hen's beak or tail, which are the most vulnerable areas. Miniature hens are highly collectible but relatively common; value is driven by the specific shade of blue and the absence of chips on the delicate 'nest' rim.
