Harding - (1930s) Harding is a Stunning Depression Era pattern made by the The Central Glass Company. This beautiful pattern was selected and used by President and Mrs. Harding during their term in the White House. Because of this collectors have named this etching "Harding". This pretty pattern depicts two griffins with a urn between them. It has
been found in pink, amber, light blue, crystal, orchid tint and green. Stemware may also be found with crystal bowls and black or green stems or feet.

Rope and Thumbprint #796 (1920s)

The Rope and Thumbprint pattern was produced in the early 1920s. It consisted of a table set (sugar, creamer, spooner, and butter), an oil lamp, a water goblet, footed covered compote, a sugar shaker and a flat tumber. Other pieces may be found that we are not aware of. This pretty pattern can be found in crystal, a deep peacock blue and vaseline. Finding early pieces in Rope and Thumbprint is not easy, but they are beautiful and well worth the hunt.
