Balda Etch No. 410 - (1920s - 1930s) (crystal, amber, blue, green, pink (2 Tone Colors), Orchid - This stunning etch was made by The Central Glass Works in the 1920s and 30s. Balda is a busy etching which features a swirled floral motif. The etch can be found in two variations. The early 1920s etch is thicker and more dense. The later version is found most often on Depression Era pieces, and is more delicate and thinner in design. This lovely pattern was designed by Joe Balda. This was the largest pattern line created by Central Glass Works. A full dinnerware service which includes a dinner plate and plenty of serving and accessory items is available. The availability of different colors and shapes helped to make this pattern popular in its heyday. Today an abundance of stemware and accessory pieces can still be found. The beautiful shapes, colors and availability make this pattern a hit among collectors today. Central Glass Works - Central Glass Works was formed from a former company called the Central Glass Company. The Central Glass Company was established in the late 1860s. This company made bottles, lamps and pressed and blown tableware. During the 1880s The United States Glass Company purchased the Central Glass Company, but due to lack of natural glass supplies and labor troubles they soon shut the plant down. In 1895, Nathan Bay Scott and several other Wheeling businessmen acquired enough capital to reopen the plant. This plant, which was now known as Central Glass Works, is the one that Depression Glass enthusiasts are the most concerned with. Central Glass Works (often called "The Works") survived for 44 years before closing their doors for good in 1939. The tough Depression years took their toll and The Works could not survive rising fuel and production costs. Although it is not as well known as many of the larger Depression Era Glass companies, Central Glass Works made many beautiful pieces. They also designed some beautiful etchings. Harding is one of their better known etches. It was the choice of President and Mrs. Harding during their term in the White House. The Works was famous for its abundant stemware lines. They also produced many console sets. Their candlesticks can be found in pink, green, crystal, black, lilac, and amber. Some of these sets were produced in stretch glass colors as well.
