Westmoreland Milk Glass Hen on Nest Covered Dish – Red Comb

$50.00 $62.00

This charming vintage Westmoreland Glass Hen on Nest covered dish is a classic piece of American milk glass that’s just as appealing today as it was when it was originally produced. Made from glossy opaque white glass, the dish features a wonderfully detailed nesting hen with a hand-painted red comb and facial accents that give the piece a little extra personality.

The removable hen lid is beautifully molded with detailed feathers across the body, wings, neck, and tall tail. Small eggs can be seen tucked beneath the hen, adding another fun detail to the design. The bright red decoration around her comb provides a bold contrast against the crisp white milk glass and immediately draws attention to the face.

The matching oval base is designed to resemble a woven basket or nest. A molded basket-weave pattern wraps around the exterior, while a raised beaded border follows the rim. Together, the textured basket base and feathered hen create the detailed pressed-glass look that makes vintage Hen on Nest dishes such popular collectibles.

Lift off the hen and the lower portion becomes an open dish that was traditionally suited for candy, nuts, or other small treats. Today, it works equally well as a decorative covered dish displayed in a kitchen hutch, glass cabinet, farmhouse collection, or alongside other pieces of Westmoreland milk glass.

The neutral white glass also makes this an easy piece to decorate with throughout the year. It works especially well with farmhouse and cottage décor and makes a natural addition to spring or Easter displays.

This is a two-piece set consisting of the Westmoreland glass hen lid and matching basket-style nest base. As a vintage piece, minor manufacturing characteristics and signs of previous use may be present. There is some visible age and wear to the painted red decoration, so please review the photographs closely for the exact condition.
