Opalescent Glass Chicken Candy Dish/Holder

This item is an opalescent glass dish, likely intended as a candy dish or a small decorative holder, shaped in the form of a stylized chicken or rooster. The material appears to be a type of iridescent or opalescent glass, exhibiting a milky, translucent quality with subtle shifts in color, predominantly in shades of off-white, light pink, and faint blue, depending on the angle and lighting. The overall form is organic and somewhat abstract, with the upper portion clearly depicting the head and comb of a chicken, rendered with a series of gentle undulations and points. The body of the chicken forms the containment area, which is a circular depression with concentric rings, suggesting it was molded. The edges of the dish are irregularly shaped to conform to the chicken's silhouette, featuring softer, rounded curves along the bottom and more defined, wavy edges along the 'back' and 'comb' of the bird. There are no visible chips, cracks, or significant damage, suggesting it is in good, possibly unused, condition. The surface appears smooth and glossy to the touch. Due to the opalescent nature and the molded form, it likely dates from the early to mid-20th century, a popular period for this type of decorative glass. The craftsmanship, while factory-produced, demonstrates care in achieving the animal's recognizable form and the delicate iridescence of the glass. There are no discernible maker's marks or signatures visible from the provided image.
