Collecting 101: Hen On Nest! The History, Popular Colors & Glass, And Value! Fenton Boyd Episode 14! 

Fairy lamps!

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!

Mid-century Murano glass ashtrays - I have two from my parents. I’m not a smoker, but love the rounded look.

I like vintage Fans, Lamps, and Toasters!

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

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! 👍👍👍❣❣❣😊😊😊😊😘

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

I would enjoy a video on slag glass. A future video on Czech glass would be interesting too.

Yay yay yay!!! 💕💕

I'm so excited to see this!

I have rewatched this vlog..wonderful.

Loved this 👍

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...

Thank you so much for featuring Hen On Nest! My new to me collection!

Fabulous selection.Loved the way you put the pictures of the makers marks on screen.The slag glass items,incredible.

Enjoyed this a lot ! Thanks!

I had never heard or seen these before. They are so cool! Thanks for introducing me to them.

Nice job! I enjoyed this one.

This show is absolutely insane and I love it so much. Arcane minutia and field trips! What's not to like? Proud to be a subscriber.

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

My mom collected them... I have found about 40 of them so far that ALL need to be sold!!

I really enjoyed this video... thanks for sharing your knowledge. 🐓

Thankyou. For sharing your knowledge with Us. I'm new to collecting hens on nests 🐔🐔🐔🐔and was great to learn more than I knew 🐔😊

I love these videos! I just enjoy watching and learning. So, whatever you decide next week is great.

I just love this series, I learn a little bit about a lot of items. I knew nothing about today's topic. I'm currently on an extended road trip but make sure to have internet connection at least once a week so I can check in.

Hubby and I love collecting westmoreland hens on nests. 🥰

Thanks for the info!

Thanks for the info❤

While working at a thrift store, purchased a rooster/ purple slag glass they are gorgeous. I gifted it to my mom. thanks appreciated the content.

Such a great video. I have the Carnival glass one and a clear kitty on nest. Thank you for this video. Skeleton keys would be fun to learn about.

Along with the blueprints

I have a pressed glass rabbit laying down with ears back, nice! And 2”cobalt hen and a glass cow 🐮 and kids broke the bottom, ugh. I love the nests that have the hobnail look around nest. Thanks for video.

Thank you, very interesting and informative. Not my niche but if I spot and I will be better prepared to decide if I should pick it up. Take care.

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.

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

The fenton hens on nests are clearly superior... thank you for sharing

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!

I collected Hen on Nest for about fifteen years and liquidated my collection last year when I moved, so I'm starting over :)

Oh I will send this video to a work collegue who ran a cafe,she liked a hen on a nest.I think she will love this..

Hi ....always enjoy learning the history of the pieces as well as the different varieties available.....this is one item I do not have....I have the larger brown/cream colors made by Hull ( like mini roasters) I have a chicken and a duck....was so pleased to find that one as our last name is Drake....thank you for sharing😊kim

I love these!! One of my faves (I have about 25) is a bright yellow slag by Mosser. I love them all though!

I bought a lot for $80 bucks it had 10 small Boyd mini different color chicks a long with 3 other big hens on nest it’s crazy how much the small ones go for

Vintage Board Games

Fairy lamps please

Specifically metrology, drafting, Machinist and engineers tools

Go Green!

I have a few were my grandmothers .

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!

Would love love love to hear about trains! Lionel, Ho Oh..

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

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

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.

Excellent information . Slag glass is getting big in all collections

Great video! Live near three of the glass companies mentioned. But, still…..Go Blue!

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.

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.

Tea pots, like McCoy, Aladdin

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.

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.

Antique needlework samplers

Maybe salt shakers...

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! 💗💗

polish pottery next?

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!

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! 👍😉🇨🇦

New sub! I have a few and display with my carnival glass and crystal. Thanks!

I have a hen on nest that belongs to my grandmother.

I have a hen on nest in amber glass also the rooster as well 8" size

Hi guys!!🤗

😎

I have seen one of these before but never knew what it was - very cool, thanks! What about paper weights?

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!!

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.

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.

I have 2 inch hens on nest in cobalt blue and vaseline glass.

Vintage pipes would be nice and they're easy to ship.

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!

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

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!

I really need to show you a pic of my HON. It is really unique

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.

Could you do a video on decorative perfume bottles?

I got a white milk glass one I think it's Anchor Hocking

Can you do a 101 video on Turquoise Jewelry?!

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

Had no idea they made small ones

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?

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?

Love the info! Next week- real vs, reproduction majolica, please.

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.

This was great how about Mason Jars?

slag glass.

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.
