Vintage Clear Pressed Glass Hen on Nest (Lid Only)

This item is a clear, pressed glass lid designed in the form of a nesting hen, intended to sit atop a matching basket-weave base (not pictured). The lid features a highly textured surface with intricate molded details simulating individual feathers on the body, a prominent comb and wattle on the head, and a fanned tail. The bottom rim of the lid is decorated with a rope-edge or 'beaded' collar that fits into a recessed base, and beneath that, a portion of the basket-weave pattern is visible. The glass exhibits a slight grayish or straw tint common in mid-20th-century mass-produced soda-lime glass. The construction shows distinct mold lines, particularly along the bird's spine and chest, which is characteristic of Victorian-style pressed glass reissued by companies such as Indiana Glass, Westmoreland, or Fenton. The condition appears fair to good; there is a noticeable dulling of the glass surface and some expected interior chipping or 'flea bites' along the inner rim where the lid meets the base. No prominent maker's marks are visible in the photograph, suggesting it may be a standard production piece from the mid-to-late 20th century. The craftsmanship is utilitarian but decorative, featuring thick walls and rounded edges typical of kitchenware items from the 1950s through the 1970s.
