SOLD - Carnival Glass Hen on a Nest - $16

This is a blue iridescent hen on a nest covered dish by the Indiana Glass Company.  In the light you can see all of the colours of the rainbow in this blue glass.
The top, or hen portion, comes off to reveal a small open dish.  The dish has a textured outside to make it look like a nest and is finished with a beaded trim.  The dish measures 7" across the widest part and when topped stands 5.25" tall.
Sadly, this little hen has suffered an injury and has a chipped beak :(  The chip however runs right along the bottom of one side and is hard to see unless you examine her up close.
I have taken a close-up of the damage and have priced her accordingly.  I usually do not like to offer items that have any damage, but she really is a lovely piece and the damage does not affect her being used or making a lovely display piece.  She just need to show off her good side, we all know about that!
