I’ve seen these cows online in pink and clear glass. I don’t know anything about it but this is what the Heisey Museum says:
“Cow on a Nest” was made in Taiwan and sold by A. A. Importing of St. Louis. It has what some people have mistaken to be the Heisey Diamond H on the bottom, but the mark can best be described as an H in a square turned on its corner. This item was never made by Heisey in any shape, size or color, and the quality of glass is quite poor when compared to Heisey glassware. Several glass companies in the U.S. did and still do make items like this”
I didn’t even know that this was “supposed” to be a piece of Heisey. My piece doesn’t have any markings.
I was interested in the company referenced – A.A. Importing. They are active and sell antique reproductions, giftware, and furniture items to retail shops and other businesses.
I have no idea of the back story of my little cow, but it is pretty cute. Fits in well with my chickens. I think I need to get a bunny too!

Mum, do you have a post on the chickens? I like those guys.

Yes darling. Use nest as a search term. Should pick up the birds (although I’m not sure if my green one, not the jadite is posted). If you like them, take one when you come home this weekend. I have two milk glass hens and two amber (I think). I gave an amber to one to G-ma, but still think I have two. I don’t have a red one yet. I haven’t seen one at a price I am willing to pay. I gave G-ma my cobalt rooster and haven’t replaced it yet either. Did you check out the lion? It’s pretty cool. I have to check whether it’s a reproduction or an original piece. It wasn’t as expensive as it should have been for an original, even though it has a little ding, so I am a bit suspicious. But it’s appropriate for a couple of Leos! xo
