Product Details

This charming miniature 'Hen on Nest' trinket dish is a classic example of collectible pressed glass. Featuring a warm amber slag or caramel glass finish, it exhibits the characteristic marbled swirls that make each piece unique. The piece consists of a detailed hen lid resting atop a textured basket-weave base. While miniature in scale, the molding is crisp, showcasing the feathers of the hen and the scalloped rim of the nest. Slag glass, particularly in animal motifs, has a dedicated following among glass collectors and farmhouse decor enthusiasts. This specific color palette provides a rustic, warm aesthetic suitable for shelf styling or holding small items like rings or pins. The small size suggests it may have originally been intended as a salt cellar or a dollhouse accessory. Overall, it is a well-preserved piece of decorative glass history with no visible chips or cracks.
