Product Details

Calling all UV glass and salt cellar collectors! Up for sale is a beautiful miniature 2.5-inch Amberina glass Hen on a Nest dish, originally produced by the L.E. Smith Glass Company. This original factory pair features a wonderful, quirky split-personality under a blacklight. ✨ THE GLOW DETAIL: The tight basketweave nest base is heavily concentrated with cadmium, bursting into a brilliant, fiery neon yellow-orange glow under a blacklight (365nm or 395nm). The solid-tail hen top lid is a beautiful, deep amber-red glass but has NO UV reaction whatsoever. This uneven color striking is a well-documented mid-century factory trait! FLAWLESS MATCHED FIT: Unlike most pieces found today, this lid and base are a perfect original pair. The lid sits completely flush on the bottom flange with absolutely ZERO wobble when touching the hen's tail. Item Details: - Brand: L.E. Smith (Unmarked) - Size: Miniature salt cellar / trinket dish scale - Dimensions: Approximately 2.5" Long x 2" Wide x 2"
