Title: Hen on a Nest -- Pottery
Post by: antiquerose123 on July 31, 2010, 07:32:54 PM

Hi, I have seen these in Glass -- but not pottery.  The red clay on the bottom reminds me of Canadian Pottery (such as Blue Mountain, or McMaster) -- but I could be 400 % wrong.

Any ideas?

I've seen a few in antique stores/malls here in Calgary, Rose.

It really is a speckled hen!  I wonder if there is a website dedicated to these - both glass and ceramic?

I'm sure you've already bookmarked this link Rose for Blue Mountain Pottery Collectors' Club - but just in case, here it is, with a good photo gallery, for future reference anyway

Thanks Anne EB,
I do not think it is BMP, but *might* still be Canadian as in CCC or something.  Thanks for the link, yup, that is a good one that I have used before...

Now I did find the what looks like the *exact* same Hen on Nest here http://wizardrus.com/sale4.html  (scroll down) but that one has the blue glaze on it -- and they too do not think it is BMP. 

So that still leaves me ???????

I just feel I should know who -- but I am drawing a Blank too...

Check out the BMP look-alikes. Maybe it is one of them.
