VTG BOYD 3rd 5yr RARE Alexandrite Neodymium Satin Frosted Glass Mini Hen On Nest

Description: This vintage salt cellar is a rare and collectible piece that will make a charming addition to any collection. The miniature hen on nest design is beautifully crafted with satin/frosted glass and features color-changing capabilities depending on the light source. Made in the United States presumably in 1989, this Boyd 3rd Five Year salt cellar miniature hen on nest is a must-have for farm animal enthusiasts and collectors alike. Packaged for safe delivery, this salt cellar is a great gift for anyone who loves vintage and collectible items. This piece has the typical Boyd 3rd Five Year Diamond around a B mark with a line on top and a line on the bottom. This means it was made sometime between 1980-1990. You can find the Alexandrite piece in their catalog listed as number 104 made on 4/26/1989, but it is not the satin/frosted glass version. This is a very hard to find, rare piece that changes to 4 different variations of colors, as you can see in the photos listed. This is not typical of Alexandrite/Neodymium glass, making this an even more unique piece. There is also a color deposit that almost looks like a hair or crack in the glass, which is also photographed. It is a very unique phenomenon that sometimes happens when making glass pieces and is quite fascinating to see! The item is in excellent, used condition showing little to no signs of wear and is I almost mint condition!! Please know that the color deposit is NOT A CRACK! IT IS NOT DAMAGED! It is a rare flaw that happens when mixing the colors to make the item. What happened was the color didn't mix all the way, and left a streak. You can see that it is dark blue in color and almost looks like a hair with two blue dots on it. It also changes color with the item. If you zoom in on it, you can even see that it bleeds a bit as well. Almost like water color does on paper, or marker does when wet. If you are concerned about it, I can provide even more photos of it to verify for you. Please refer to the photos for a better description and for item measurements as they are part of the item details. I am very flexible when it comes to my items and prices. I will also combine shipping and refund the difference, if any, in shipping costs. If you have questions, please message me. Thank you for reading and checking out my item. IF YOU NEED YOUR ITEMS SHIPPED BEFORE MY ESTIMATED HANDLING TIME, PLEASE SEND ME A MESSAGE!!! I have multiple stores and send hundreds of packages out weekly. I am willing to go above and beyond for my customers and my buyers to ensure their happiness and will gladly make sure, or try to make sure, an item you buy will get to you before a deadline. However, if you need an item within 7 days of purchasing, I would suggest sending me a message and letting me know the date you need it by and also purchasing expedited shipping to ensure your item gets there quickly! There have been destructive tornadoes, derailed trains, and horrible weather, causing packages to be delivered later than expected. Your happiness and satisfaction are of utmost importance to me, so please reach out. -Sarah *The Madd Thrifter*
