Vintage Large Ceramic Hen on Nest Covered Dish

Hen-on-nest pieces are incredibly popular with collectors, and this large vintage example is full of wonderful farmhouse character! This two-piece ceramic or pottery covered dish features a beautifully detailed white nesting hen with a red comb, yellow beak, textured feathers, and a removable lid. The tan basket-weave base gives it the perfect rustic country look. The larger size creates impressive display presence on a kitchen hutch, open shelf, sideboard, dining table, or Easter centerpiece. Use it to hold wrapped candy, decorative eggs, keepsakes, trinkets, or simply display it as part of a cherished chicken collection. Appears to be a genuine vintage late 20th-century piece. The exact maker and production date are unknown. A faint marking is visible on the base but is no longer readable. Vintage condition with noticeable paint loss, finish wear, scuffs, and distressed areas throughout, especially on the comb, feathers, tail, and rims. Some distressing may be intentional, with additional age-related wear present. No obvious major cracks or missing pieces observed. Please review all photos carefully for condition and measurements.
