Instead, authenticity is proven entirely through unique mold characteristics. You can verify these are official Indiana Glass originals by checking these exact diagnostic details: The Valve Mark Circle: If you flip the hen lids over, you will see a distinct, raised 1.25-inch circular mold mark right on the under-belly—the definitive machine signature of the Indiana Glass factory.Stippled Nest Base: The lower nesting bowls feature the authentic \"stippled\" (fine, sandy-bump) textured finish along the bottom basketweave, placing their production era directly between the 1960s and early 1970s. Beaded Rims & Smooth Wings: Features the iconic crisp, beaded glass edge trim and beautifully molded feathers that blend seamlessly into the body without harsh modern reproduction lines.Collector Quality:While it is common to find single hens missing their bases, or pieces with broken beaks and chipped tails, it is incredibly rare to find two of these vintage pieces together as a matching pair in such immaculate, showroom-excellent condition. There are absolutely no chips, cracks, or flea bites on the fragile tail feathers, combs, or rims.Perfect for displaying symmetrically on a dining buffet, using as matching seasonal holiday servers, or adding to an established milk glass collection!
