Offered here from the dougfinds collection of
curated fashion, accessories, clothing, collectibles, and unique gifts is
this charming vintage
Westmoreland miniature hen-on-nest covered trinket dish.
This authentic
Westmoreland example bears the molded WG trademark inside the base
and features the less commonly encountered solid-tail mold rather than the
split-tail version more frequently found today.
A particularly attractive
feature is the survival of the original hand-applied cold paint on the hen's
comb and beak. Many examples have lost this decoration over time, making the
remaining paint a nice collector detail.
When illuminated, the
thinner tail feathers become softly translucent—a beautiful characteristic of
vintage milk glass that highlights the quality of the pressed glass
construction.
