Vintage Westmoreland WGMiniature Milk Glass Hen on Nest
Offered here fromthe dougfinds collection of curated fashion, accessories, clothing,collectibles, and antiques is this charming vintage Westmoreland miniaturehen-on-nest covered trinket dish.
This authenticWestmoreland example bears the molded WG trademark inside the baseand features the less commonly encountered solid-tail mold rather than thesplit-tail version more frequently found today.
A particularlyattractive feature is the survival of the original hand-applied cold paint onthe 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 characteristicof vintage milk glass that highlights the quality of the pressed glassconstruction.
