Era / Decade
2010s (Modern production)
Material
Hand-painted ceramic stoneware and wrought-iron style wire metal racks.
Condition
Good. Visible chipping on the beak of the smaller hen baker. Overall glaze appears intact otherwise, but structural integrity of the ceramic should be checked for hairline cracks.
Demand Level
Moderate. Temp-tations has a very dedicated following (referred to as "Temp-tationsistas"), though the market is currently saturated with common patterns.
Resale Value
Estimated Resale Value
$35.00 - $55.00 for the pair in current condition
Estimated Retail Value
$60.00 - $80.00 (Often sold as sets on QVC)
Comparable Sales
Similar two-piece hen sets in the Old World pattern typically sell for $40-$60 on eBay and Mercari when in excellent condition. Expect lower end of the range due to the beak chip.
Description
Attractive set of two (2) Temp-tations Old World pattern ceramic bakers shaped like hens. Features hand-painted floral motifs in black, yellow, and red on a cream base. Includes matching black metal wire carrying cradles/racks for easy transport from oven to table.
Key Features
Hand-painted 'Old World' pattern is highly collectible; figural hen shape is popular for country/farmhouse kitchen decor; oven, microwave, and dishwasher safe; includes original metal racks.
Authenticity Indicators
High confidence. The 'Old World' pattern and specific hen mold are signature designs of Temp-tations by Tara. Bottom of ceramic should have the brand stamp.
Flaws to Note
Significant chip on the yellow beak of the smaller hen baker. This is a common point of failure for figural pottery. Minor scuffing on the metal racks is also likely.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
Facebook Marketplace for local sale (to avoid high shipping risk/cost) or eBay for a wider collector audience.
Selling Tips
Highlight 'Farmhouse Decor' and 'QVC' in keywords. Use double-boxing and plenty of bubble wrap if shipping, as these are heavy and fragile. Photograph the beak chip clearly to avoid return requests.
