Here is a 4 1-4"H x 4"W marbled pink & white rosalene glass hen commissioned by the HCA especially for Fenton Glass in a limited edition of 450 (this piece is no 302), orig mold made in the late 1940s by designer Royal Hickman for Heisey Glass, this reissue for Fenton from 1992
Pretty little Fenton hen!!
Wonderful piece for your collection, love the colour work on this one !~
Beautiful colour on this one!!! I love the sugary colour on her and her fabulous shape, it's so elegant, but aside from a lack of comb she reminds me of a rooster?! Very nice!
So very beautiful!!! Yes, agree with the comments above. The color is remarkable!!!
Was Royal Hickman the designer that did pottery too?
This is the sweetest hen.
my understanding is that these pieces with the HCA mark were commissioned by the Heisey Colletor's Club and made by Fenton, which included a whole collection of Heisey animals

Thanks Scott for the super compliment, she is quite a pretty hen with her curves & pink coloring
Phil thanks so much for your great praise, I was lucky to find this for my collection as don't have many of this type animal, plus it was a limited production so a rare find - love the color too
Thank you Lauren for your lovely words, this pink-white color does have rather a cotton candy look! She really does appear to be strutting like a rooster, also with the puffed neck reminds me of a pouter pigeon
Thank you FreshAir for your really kind comment and liking all the attributes of this hen, I figured Easter is a good time to post an animal in the chick family :)
Karen thank you for your wonderful comment & great question about Hickman. Most of the online info connects him to Haeger pottery, he was with them from 1939 thru 1944 then freelanced for them, and his best known work was the black panther. Because he was known for his art deco style, I have to believe he is the same artist that did Heisey animals in the 40s-50s, there is actually a Heisey glass tiger aka panther in the deco style, I have posted it here in yellow satin
Thank you TallCakes for the HCA clarification and the link, I actually did know they commissioned the rosalene series for Fenton in 92 but for the life of me could not find the HCA & F logo on the piece, I just searched for it & found it practically hidden in the animal's underbelly! I have updated the description accordingly
With sincere gratitude for the love
