green-etched-compoteIsn’t this a pretty colour?  A very deep, rich green.  I don’t know if it has a more descriptive name for this particular tint.

I don’t know the name of the etch.  I have to take a clearer photo of it and repost on the  Elegant & Everyday Glass Forum.

According to my only book on Central – Central Glass Works: the Depression Era by Tim Schmidt – line 2005 came in many pieces of tableware and in many colours. Rose, amber, orchid tints and crystal, and gold encrusted are examples.green-etched-compote2

This piece is 7 inches across and stands six inches.  The stem has nine lobes and it was moulded in three pieces.

Central Glass closed its doors in 1939, so the piece predates this time and according to Mr. Schmidt was observed in a 1928 catalog.
