| Search the web for rabbit figural Depression glass. If yours opens up, like a box, it's likely a candy or cotton ball holder. The Glass Chalet website has pictures of the chikens and rabbits and other figurals - www.glasschalet.com |

| If I understand what you are saying, you have a covered dish with the cover being a rabbit with ears laid back. You say it's like a Hen on a nest type of glass, so I guess that it's opaque, like slag or milk glass. This type of thing has been much reproduced....but Indiana Glass did make some old Rabbit on a nest dishes in slag glass. You don't say how big it is... It could be made in the '60 or it could be made in the 1880's. Can't say without a picture. Linda c |

| the rabitt i have is twice as big as a chicken on a nest and is more square with its ears down in brown depression colour.just cant find any info .could it be eropean glass |

| Hens on a nest vary greatly in size...I have a very tiny and have seen ones that are huge. You say "brown" but no mention of it's opaque like slag glass or clear glass. I suppose it could be European but the animals on the nest were pretty much an American thing. Linda C |
