So here is the piece that started it all! I spied this bird on a shelf in an antique shop for $22. I actually did not know what I was looking at! But, I had to have it! As it turns out, It is Westmoreland milk glass. And there is a whole collection of different animals on a nest. This piece is "Robin on a Nest". I have seen this piece priced as high as $165!!! Its available in many colors; blue, yellow, green, etc...
However, if you want to be sure it is Westmoreland Glass, check for the maker's mark. Here is what mine looks like. I brushed it with some eyeshadow so the WG (Westmoreland Glass) shows up. They have had a few marks over the years. Luckily, with smart phones we can look them up on the spot.
Here is the rest of my collection ...so far!
There are still many more to collect: a dog, a cow, an eagle with eaglets, and many more!!!
This is how I display mine.
I bought these wire shelves at TJMaxx for $49.99.
It measures 3 feet high by 3 feet wide.
Whatever your quest may be, happy collecting!
Nancy
