5 Inch Covered Hen on Woven Nest:
Westmoreland Glass Company began production with this mould in 1889. The same chicken was produced by many companies in various styles. It is well known as a Split Tail Chicken on a Woven Nest. Many of the old Chickens were packaged with mustard and condiments in them.
Westmoreland Glass made it from 1889 - 1980s. Pre 1960s there was NO marking. From 1960 - 1982 they were marked with the WG logo on the bottom. Westmoreland Glass Company then closed. Beginning in 1984, the new mould owner began marking them with a W encircled with the word Westmoreland.
Today, they are used as Covered Candy Dishes, Covered Soup Bowls, Trinket Dishes, Easter Displays, and as a beautiful, much loved collectible.
