Avocado Green Glass Hen on Nest Covered Dish

This item is a vintage pressed glass covered candy or trinket dish in the form of a nesting hen. The piece is rendered in a vibrant avocado or 'olive' green transparent glass, which was a highly popular color palette during the mid-20th century, specifically the 1960s and 1970s. The dish consists of two parts: a base decorated with a beaded or 'stippled' rim edge and a removable lid shaped like a chicken. The glasswork features intricate molded textures simulating feathers on the hen's body and wings, alongside a distinctively pebbled or 'nappy' texture on the head and comb. The tail feathers are flared and upright, acting as a handle for the lid. Construction involves a heavy mold-pressed technique typical of American glass companies like Indiana Glass, Westmoreland, or Fenton. The condition appears excellent with no visible chips, cracks, or large-scale abrasions on the exterior surfaces. The glass maintains a high gloss finish without significant 'sick glass' clouding. There are no obvious maker's marks visible in the image, which is common for these mass-produced decorative kitchenware items from the mid-century era. The craftsmanship is solid, with well-defined mold lines that indicate a quality production run from a major glasshouse.
