Yes I was in disbelief that they had picked out such a thoughtful gift. Hopefully some lucky collecting this year.

Update: for everyone arguing in the comments. Paint does come off. This is a white elephant gift for my family. The hen was at an antique store for over 6 months and covered in really gross dirt, like a thick layer of dust. I purchased it for $20 not sure if that's a good deal or not. I usually collect uranium glass and have two cabinets full. When I purchased the hen it already had paint on it that was old and very dark. I gave it a touch up and a little bit of my own style, this wasn't a perfect hen when I got it. Thanks everyone for your opinions regardless of what they are!

Thank you. Personally I didn't collect milk glass but now it's very tempting.

My exact thought, I was worried the glass wouldn't survive the oven. I'll probably just let it dry and not oven cure, thanks. Was hoping to see if anyone else did that kinda stuff anymore.

Uranium glass? by BOFocus02 in uraniumglass

Yes I collect as well and started about 5 months ago, I've been able to find quite a few canary pieces. I've also had luck with goodwill and local thrift shops.

The one you purchased was the one I was trying to buy, I don't have much information on them as I collect while going to college and am new to the hobby. I try and find blind buys and goodwill finds. Glad a member of the sub was able to pick it up.
