Antique Glass Hens - Great Glass Collectibles

By Shane Dayton

Sometimes an antique gets its value from rarity and scarceness, while other times an antique may get a lot of its value because it has a collectible quality to it. Glass hens are a great example of this.

Antique glass hens can be both. Not only is the glass valuable and rare, but being in the form of hens, these dishes are often very appealing by sight. These dishes are among my mom's favorites, as the kitchen has three shelves of antique glass hens from all different colors and sizes.

That is part of what is appealing. Purple, blue, red, orange, pink, white, tangerine, yellow, and green antique glass chickens all sit together on the same shelf. These chickens can also be from a wide variety of companies, from the usually non-collectible, to famous glass companies such as Fenton Glass.

These are attractive not only because you can't often find designs and craftsmanship like this now, but also because whether antique or not, these decorative glassware pieces can be enjoyed. The extra value that comes from being antique makes some of these glass chickens quite valuable.

This is part of the fun of antiques. It's not just "old stuff," the antiques are beautiful, well detailed art. At home we tend to tease Mom about all her glass chickens, but they are wonderful pieces of art that add a brightness to the kitchen that wouldn't be there otherwise.

Finding antiques that you love is the best reason to get into the hobby. Maybe you will find that you love the beautiful antique glass hens as much as Mom does!

Where can you get antique clocks? You can wander through almost any antique store or mall and see some sort of old clock. Finding the exact piece you want may take some time, however, unless you visit a dealer who specializes in old time pieces. Certainly there are online auction sites, but if this is a one time purchase or is you are a beginning collector using such auctions can be problematic.
