Atterbury Glass
Founded in 1860 as Hale & Atterbury, in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, the company eventually became, in 1893, just Atterbury Glass Company.
Atterbury made a wide variety of items, from bar bottles, to tableware, to lamps. It was renowned for making covered dishes in the shapes of rabbits, ducks, chickens and boars head, and its innovative lamps were especially sought after. Most objects were produced either in a milk glass or in opaline.
If one had to pick out one very typical and influential Atterbury piece, it would be a covered dish in the shape of a chicken sitting on its nest, much like the one shown below.
Of course, this design, along many others were copied by Westmoreland Glass Company in the mid 20th century.
