Own a piece of American history with this rare vintage Indiana Glass Bicentennial Blue Hen on Nest, a limited edition commemorative from 1976. This is the larger size hen, measuring approximately 7 inches long and 5.5 inches high, making it a standout display piece. This rare piece is known for the gold color running through the blue. Known also as Riviera Blue or Colonial Blue, this stunning iridescent carnival glass hen was produced during the Carnival Glass Revival to celebrate the American Bicentennial.
The shimmering surface was achieved through a special treatment with metal salts applied to the base blue glass, giving it a dazzling, multi-color glow in different lighting. Several pictures were taken to show the hen in different lighting. The nest base features a stippled, striated pattern designed to resemble straw, adding authentic texture and dimension. In wonderful vintage condition with no cracks, chips, or damage, this collectible is highly sought after by fans of Indiana Glass, nesting hens, carnival glass, and Bicentennial memorabilia. A true treasure for collectors of vintage glassware and rare commemorative pieces, this hen will bring sparkle, history, and elegance to any collection.
Although nesting hens are traditionally collected for kitchen displays, this Bicentennial Blue Indiana Glass Hen on Nest is so versatile that it looks stunning anywhere in your home. Place it on a mantle for a touch of vintage sparkle, use it as a centerpiece on a coffee table to catch the light, or even display it in a bedroom for a pop of iridescent color and charm. With its shimmering carnival glass finish and timeless design, this collectible hen adds elegance, history, and beauty to any space—it’s truly gorgeous wherever you choose to showcase it.
