Today we are showing off a Booth Favorite: Milk Glass Hen on Nest – Every now and then, a piece in the booth stops people in their tracks. This week’s show-stealer? Our vintage milk glass Hen on Nest—a classic collectible that’s equal parts nostalgic and delightful.
A Hen with History
Milk glass has been cherished since the early 1900s, known for its creamy, opaque finish and delicate charm. These covered chicken dishes were originally created for kitchen use—perfect for holding eggs, candy, or even a little surprise on the dinner table.
This particular hen is a great example of pressed milk glass craftsmanship. Its textured detail, scalloped edge, and lidded design make it a standout on any shelf or tabletop. Whether you’re a seasoned collector or just discovering the joys of vintage glassware, this little lady brings a warm, farmhouse touch to any space.
Styling Tip
Try placing your milk glass hen on a stack of vintage cookbooks in your kitchen or dining nook. She also shines nestled in a hutch with other whiteware or used as a creative planter for small succulents!
Why We Love It
Aside from her pretty profile, what we love most about this piece is her versatility. She fits into farmhouse, cottagecore, traditional, or even eclectic vintage decor. And she always brings a smile.
