Small Glass Rooster 2-Piece Farm Animal Covered Dish by Zabkowice, Poland

Description: I have two of these tiny glass rooster dishes, which were made by Zabkowice Glass Company in Poland. I am unsure of their exact age, but they are relatively recently made. My guess is that they were made sometime in the 1990s, or more recently. This is the smallest size made, of several sizes of roosters that Zabkowice made. I am listing both in this listing but price is per each. (The first 4 photos are of the older, first rooster. The last 3 photos are of the second rooster.) I've seen that some people are calling these egg cups. Do egg cups have lids? I don't know. But I tested, using one of my wooden eggs, which is about the size of a medium chicken egg, and found that it will hold an egg, as shown in the first rooster. (The egg is not for sale and is NOT included in your purchase.) The rooster I believe is older has more clear detailing of his feathers, and slightly more substance to his comb. He is the one that weighs 10.9 ounces. The second rooster's pattern details seem like the molds were just a smidge more worn when he was made. The texture on his comb is small indentations all over, instead of like the first rooster's comb, and also his comb is a tiny bit shorter. The older rooster has a small shallow flake off the top of the base, which is 1/4" by 1/8", and not visible from the side. The slightly newer rooster has minor factory defects of: a small burst bubble on the top of the base (in the chest area) and what looks like a hairline crack but may be just a shear mark, and another indent in the inner rim of the base, which also is a factory quirk. Unless specifically requested otherwise, the first buyer will get the first or "older" rooster. This will be shipped by my choice of either UPS Ground Saver or USPS Ground Advantage rate (except for International). Local delivery is always available for free to a mutually agreed upon meeting place. This cannot be shipped by UPS to a post office box. Please contact me before purchase, if you need to have it shipped to a PO Box. I am happy to answer your questions about this piece. If you are ordering for a Christmas gift, please order early! Orders placed after Dec. 16 are not likely to arrive by Christmas.
