Material
Machine-pressed glass with a sprayed gradient or iridescent finish. The glass is thin with noticeable mold seams, indicating low-cost production.
Condition
New (As pictured in stock photo). Note that the finish on these modern import pieces is often prone to scratches and issues during shipping.
Demand Level
Low to Niche. While 'Hen on Nest' items have a collector base, they typically look for authentic antique/vintage pressed glass rather than modern budget imports.

Comparable Sales
Similar modern glass hens often sell for $8–$12 on platforms like Mercari. Authentic vintage versions in rare colors can sell for $40–$100+, but this item lacks the necessary provenance and quality.
Description
Modern interpretation of the classic 'Hen on Nest' glass candy dish. Features a champagne-yellow base with a multicolored ombre fade transitioning to red on the head and purple on the tail. The basket-style base features a beaded rim and embossed 'PABHAN' lettering. Suitable for holiday decor, trinket storage, or as a kitschy kitchen accent.
Key Features
Colorful ombre aesthetic, popular farmhouse-style motif, functional candy or jewelry dish.
Authenticity Indicators
Low confidence. This is a modern mass-market item currently sold on discount apps (Temu/Shein). It lacks the weight, glass quality, and marks of authentic vintage makers like Westmoreland, Indiana Glass, or Boyd.
Flaws to Note
The 'PABHAN' lettering is an odd branding choice that limits its appeal to serious vintage collectors. The gradient finish is likely a surface coating rather than colored glass and may peel or scratch over time.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
Facebook Marketplace or Mercari. Local pickup is preferred as shipping costs may exceed the item's value. Avoid eBay for this specific item as competition with factory-direct sellers is high.
Selling Tips
Focus on the 'Boho' or 'Eclectic Kitchen' aesthetic in keywords. Do not list as vintage or antique, as this will lead to returns or bad reviews. Price it low to move quickly. Highlight the unique color as its main selling point.
