Westmoreland Blue Milk Glass

Mother Eagle & Chicks on Lacy Base Nest

This week we are listing an amazing assortment of large covered animal dishes from Westmoreland's animal kingdom in the hard to find Antique Blue color. Several of these animals rest on Westmoreland's desirable 8" oval lacy base. We are offering them all with no reserve.

According to Kovar, Antique Blue is a robin's egg blue opaque color, which was produced by Westmoreland Glass Company as early as 1950. Today it is hard to find in any form, especially in the large animal covered dishes. If you have been waiting to add that special dish to your collection of blue milk glass, now is the time!

Of all the animal covered dishes Westmoreland produced this is my personal favorite. The eagle has long been America's symbol of freedom and this mother eagle with spread wings protecting her hungry eaglets in the nest pretty much says it all - Don't Mess With Us!!

The mother eagle on basket nest was originally part of Challinor-Taylor's Farm Yard Assortment from the last part of the 19 th century. Measuring 7-7/8" long and 6-3/8" wide, she stands 6-3/8" tall.

This is Westmoreland's version in Antique Blue on a lacy base. This piece is in pristine condition with no chips, cracks, or repairs on either lid or base. Mother Eagle still retains her original factory brown glass eyes and she is marked with Westmoreland's superimposed WG in the mold on both the underside of the lid and the inside of the base.

Please e-mail us with any questions you might have prior to placing your bid. For immediate shipping we accept PayPal, money order or cashier's check. Personal checks will be held 5 days. Because of the size, weight and delicate nature of these lacy bases, we will be unable to combine shipping this week on multiple purchases of the lacy-based animals.

Winning bidder to please add $10.95 for safe shipping via U.S. Priority Mail to USA destinations only. Insurance is optional and your preference can be chosen at check out. We will not be responsible for any uninsured items.

Thanks for visiting & Happy Bidding!
