Hi 👋 I just found your channel and it's so refreshing to see a male reseller talk about things other than sneakers, electronics and video games. Great info!
Thanks Mia! We do plenty of that here! Hope you have a great holiday
These are so pretty!! And such a range in prices!! WOW. I actually like uranium glass....some of it glows SO strongly. Fascinating. Thanks for the good vid!! Take care! 👍👍👍❣❣❣😊😊😊😊😘
You too Sue! Thanks for watching
I would enjoy a video on slag glass. A future video on Czech glass would be interesting too.
✍️ I have it down thanks
Mid-century Murano glass ashtrays - I have two from my parents. I’m not a smoker, but love the rounded look.
Some ashtrays are very unique!
I’m voting for Viking again. Slag glass will be cool too. I have a large swan on nest slag glass. This video made me want to love it more
Awesome Randy! I have Viking Glass down, that video will come at some point if not next week
I enjoyed your video. I have somewhere between 30 and 50 animal covered dishes. I have hens, the American eagle with 3 eggs, the Dewey dish, several different ships, fish on a skiff, a lamb, a kitten, a dog, a cow, a horse, a fox, Santa in a sleigh, two kissing birds on a tripod style nest, the dolphin whose tail goes up, and many I’ve forgotten. Most are milk glass, but there’s carnival glass, frosted aqua glass, amber glass, and colors I’ve forgotten. I may have a slag glass or two, I can’t remember.
They are all packed away in boxes in my basement storage room. I have pictures of many of them too. I don’t really know what I will do with them. I can’t see selling them for $10 apiece because I paid between $30 and $40 for each one back in the late ‘50’s, the ‘60’s and ‘70’s. Most were bought in antique stores even though they weren’t a hundred years old, they were considered collectible back then. I always hoped they would appreciate, but apparently not. So I guess I’ll hang onto them a little longer...
No worries! They can still fetch good money to the right collector
I like vintage Fans, Lamps, and Toasters!
I just happened upon your channel and found it very helpful... I have a Cat on nest in clear glass that was given to me a long time ago and I really didn't think much of it. its sitting somewhere in my kitchen, but now I will pay closer attention. thank you for the info.
Thanks For Watching Diana! If you search our videos we bought a HUGE Collection of these that is quite impressive to see
Thanks so much for selecting the category Hen on Nest for this week’s 101 video! I remember seeing them in my childhood in the 50’s-60’s. Now fifty years later, I’ve started to collect them! I’ve had a hard time finding information about them when I research them online. I appreciate you taking the time to find the information that you’ve shared
No Problem Jan! Thanks for watching
My mom collected them... I have found about 40 of them so far that ALL need to be sold!!
😂😂😂👍🏼
If you were close I'd be interested 😃
I have Seen these HON's Here & there in the distant past, but never thought much of them. In Fact, I was surprised to hear you mention that the Majority of your Audience had chosen this for a topic and That theres A big following for these!🤔 The ones I saw in the past were the normal Plain ones & I personally found the plain ones to be relatively boring, until I saw the slag ones That you just presented~ (LIKE YOU I ALSO LOVE SLAG!) So anyways I am so glad that I landed on your Channel & I have learned a lot so far- I do thank you for this. And keep up the great vids! 👍😉🇨🇦
Thanks David!! Appreciate you checking us out and hope you enjoy the other collecting videos
I really enjoyed this video. I had no idea about hen on nest glass in the different colors, glass types and the different companies that made them. I am new to all of this so thank you for taking the time to educate those of us just getting into this
Absolutely! Glad your enjoying the series 😀
I have rewatched this vlog..wonderful.
Thanks Helen

Loved this 👍

Glad you enjoyed the video Kim!
Please discuss antique lithophanes. I have a collection including a vase, a box, one to hang in a window, and the base of a brass teapot burner. If interested, I will send photographs. The are hard to appreciate because they are hard to display.
Feel free to email me some pics at 66uniqueantiques@gmail.com
Thank you so much for the great info on hens on nest and the slag glass. I inherited A LOT from my grandmother. She would have been 103 this year. I also inherited so much antique/vintage glass from her. I need to start thinking about selling some of it since my daughter isn’t interested in anything but the the cruet collection. Thank you for sharing your knowledge!
Sincerely, Debbie
Thanks for watching Debbie
I love these videos! I just enjoy watching and learning. So, whatever you decide next week is great.
Ok Great! I'm thinking Salt and Pepper Shakers
@@66uniqueantiques Perfect!!
Vintage Board Games
✍️ got it down
I love these!! One of my faves (I have about 25) is a bright yellow slag by Mosser. I love them all though!
Sounds like a cool collection! Thanks for watching Leah!
Omg I just found your channel and it is SUPERB@!!! You have a New Subscriber and I have a feeling I'm gonna Binge...lol
That’s awesome Tammy! Thank You
Great video. I was always curious about these pieces, but I didn't want to spend $60 on a bird. Yesterday I was in a thrift shop and found one (which might possibly be uranium) for $10. I bought it and now it's sitting on my window sill. Thank you for these videos!
Sounds like an awesome buy! Congrats and glad you liked the video
There was a tv series here in the UK,set in Liverpool called Bread.The family had a hen on a nest that they put their days earnings in.Comedy.
Interesting I've never heard of that show
Thanks for the enlightenment! My mom had a huge collection of over 125 pieces and I have sold some and definitely under priced them. The slag glass is still there so I will increase the price. I still have about 75 pieces that I am selling this weekend in an estate sale so I will be re pricing those today. Thank you!
Hopefully you had good luck on your sale
Great video! Live near three of the glass companies mentioned. But, still…..Go Blue!
Blah lol thanks for watching Paula
I would also love to see you do a video on Czech glass, especially etched glass artwork on collaboration pieces, such as India fine wire and brass work boxes followed by Czech etched glass details that work so well together, but aren't covered in forums.
Interesting I’ll put it on my list to make a future video about. Thanks for the suggestion Avril 🙂
I have a large, white and dark purple slag glass hen. Idk if it is authentic but it's beautiful and I love it. I love collecting these although my collection is still small
Love the purple slag! Sounds like a great piece
I have a few were my grandmothers .
Awesome
Thanks for the info!
Thanks for watching Maria
My grandmother had a small collection of glass top hats and high-heeled shoes. I've always wondered how those pieces came to be so popular and what they were used for, other than decor.
The History is always the best part of the story
The Frog on a Basket is a neat piece...would like to find one, as I collect frog-themed figurines. Have seen many hens and rabbits as well.
Frogs are very rare. I've never seen one in person
I have seen one of these before but never knew what it was - very cool, thanks!
What about paper weights?
I can add it to the list! Thanks for watching Amber
My mom had a blue one but we don’t know what happened to it.
Not a collecting suggestion, but if you can do a spot the differences between depression/pressed/Victorian/lead Crystal glass! I slowed down and rewatched those hens and just can’t tell the difference. Thank you! 💗💗
I will add it to our video idea list 🙂
Would love love love to hear about trains! Lionel, Ho Oh..
Got it down thanks! 🙂
Thanks for the information! I will research my two "hens on the nest"glass pieces. They were inherited from my Mother. Both are tiny about two inches long. One is milk glass with painted combs. One is clear. The clear glass is not marked, the milk glass is clearly marked Made in Japan. So off to do some Internet research! I was always fascinated by these when I was a child. Where Mom got them is unknown to me, but they are no less precious!
Good Luck! Hope you got some gems
Tea pots, like McCoy, Aladdin
Ok got it down! Thanks
polish pottery next?
✍️ I have it down 🙂
Excellent information . Slag glass is getting big in all collections
Thanks John! I agree

Great information!! I have tons of these cars from my son born in 1990 so I'm anxious to go through them after watching this!!!
Will you do a collecting video on baseball cards? Thanks!!
I did one on football cards and yes I will eventually be doing one on baseball cards. Glad you enjoy the video 🙂

Cool! 🙂
I really need to show you a pic of my HON. It is really unique
It is multicolor slag
Please do…. email me at 66uniqueantiques@gmail.com
I recently found a light blue "carnival glass?" bird on a nest., kind of opalescent. It's a smaller one, about 6 inches? The bird has a berry in its beak!
Nice Find!!
New sub! I have a few and display with my carnival glass and crystal. Thanks!
That’s awesome!! Great things to display for sure
I have a hen on nest that belongs to my grandmother.
Awesome! They are very cool pieces
Vintage pipes would be nice and they're easy to ship.
Got it down! Thanks for the suggestion Jim!
Antique needlework samplers
Maybe salt shakers...
I have 10 different ones and I love them and everyone is vintage. And the bigger one can hold up to four or five boiled eggs also.
Nice!
Can you do a 101 video on Turquoise Jewelry?!
I’ll add it to the list thanks Ashley
I received my first hen on nest when i was about 8 years old. Over the years I'd accumulated more, about 7. I'm leaving them to my daughter who wanted to look at them. I had them on a shelf in an antique secretary. When we opened the glass doors, the shelf fell and the hens broke into pieces on the floor! Disaster! So now I'm scouring the internet to replace them. Very expensive!
Yes they are! Check local antique shops might be able to find some deals
I own one..I doubt it's worth much but I love it . It says it was made in Germany ..I didn't pay much for it
Cool! Just remember Memories Over Money
I have several 12" action figures GI Joe, movie characters and super heroes from when I was younger. Have you done any videos over collecting them?
Not yet but they will be coming soon
I have 2 inch hens on nest in cobalt blue and vaseline glass.
Awesome! Vaseline glass is so cool
I got a white milk glass one I think it's Anchor Hocking
Nice!
This video left me cold, especially where the story of this particular style of glass is rich in history. The hen on nest glassware really emerged in the mid-1880s with the advent of milk glass. Pressed glassware has been around for a long time, but milk glass production, with its characteristic novelty animals on the top of lidded dishes, became very popular, especially in the late Victorian era. They were unusual and charming in comparison to the uninspired glassware of the past. The hen on nest, or hen in basket, is the most popular form of candy/nut dish by far.
In the 1930s and 40s, these Victorian pieces were widely collected as antiques. This is remarkable insofar as many of the collected pieces would have only been 30-50 years old at the time they were being collected as bona fide antiques.
Enter big glass companies like Fenton and Westmoreland who secured antique molds from these earlier works. Instead of making new glass inspired by the originals, these companies were disinterested in protecting the collector and, instead, reissued very old pieces, including the hens on a nest candy dishes which remained popular into the 60s. In the ensuing years, the market in antique glassware tanked, and interest in serious collecting of milk glass waned considerably. Because a hens on nest dish is so popular of a pattern, antique stores and flea markets are awash with examples. They sell for modest amounts.
There are serious collectors of pressed glass in general and milk glass in particular. Prices for some examples can reach into the 100s of dollars. However, one needs to educate oneself before spending a lot of money in this collecting field.
Could you do a video on decorative perfume bottles?
I'll add it to the list ✍️🙂
I have a collection of salt cellars that I would like info and pricing if you have any. I like this video today. I have a few hens
Feel free to email us some pics
Love the info!
Next week- real vs, reproduction majolica, please.
Thanks Dar! Noted ✍️
Hi guys!!🤗
Hi Sue!! 😃😃
😎
😃
Do you know if Heisey made slag glass HONs? Or did Imperial use their molds with the Heisey makers mark on it to make some?
I’d have to research that alittle bit to be sure
@@66uniqueantiques I've been trying to research that myself but I'm not sure where to go to do it other than continuing to search online...and that isn't easy. I'll keep looking:)
I have a small hen on nest with a factory defect. It's on the rim base of the hen. It's smooth and not a chip. It's a factory defect. It's also milk glass. What would It's value be because of this defect.
Any defect would still effect the value and without seeing it in person makes it tough to gauge value. Try eBay then put into effect the defect and maybe get a value that way
slag glass.
✍️ Got it down
The thing about auction prices, is that there are millions of people to whom $2500 is nothing. Don't try to compete with them, there will be other auctions where prices are much lower.
Absolutely! I always remind myself that there will always be another auction
This was great how about Mason Jars?

I have a 3" Boyd hen. But i can't figure out the color. It is a milky pinkish white, that is opaque in some parts and clear in other parts. And it is UV reactive.
Send pictures to our email that would help us assist you
The uv reactive would be the Cadmium used in the coloring process.

Thanks! My wife would kill me if I get rid of the beard 😂 but thanks for the compliments ☺️
Did Cambridge Glass make any hens on nest
I'd have to check in to that
Had no idea they made small ones
Yep they do
I have a small collection of hen on nest and I have a few that I can not find out anything on where can I get this info
Try google search or ebay
@@66uniqueantiquesI have looked everywhere
