This candy dish was given to my wife by her mother.It has no marking,I found one on ebay for $40.00,we were wondering about how old it was,and if it was worth that much.

Thanks,God bless,Keith

That's a high price.

Agree with D&b....Generally are made of pressed glass (is there a seam) and these do not run that high!  Can pick up for $12 - $20 at local resale/antiquity shops (whether pressed or not).

There were many, many sizes and designs of “hen on nest” made by different companies. And like most glassware: type, color, rarity, manufacturer and # of collectors determine the value.

I just had the wife take a picture of these two from my collectibles that are “marked” with the Westmorland Glass logo.

Blue Mist and Pink Mist “hens on nest”, 3 ½” long, 3 3/8” high

    I have two now both we picked up really cheap Under 5 bucks,   However They may not wrought a high price they have  a fair numbers of collectors.  The color here is the most important factor with these, Milk and Amber are pretty common place, Cranberry, Ruby, and Colbalt Fair on top.  Which is the case with most glassware. Bottom on the list of glassware is Clear usually, However I've never seen a clear one yet, I would maybe sniff around that angle a bit.  Not sure what you will find.
