Here’s my antiquing find the the year: this gorgeous Central Glass Frances green ruffled rim vase at the East Town Antique mall in Grand Rapids.
Central Frances Green Ruffled Rim Vase
Central Glass made Francis from 1928 until about 1930. It’s a beautiful Art Deco design with interrupted ribs and you might find green, amber, pink and crystal. FCentral made this primarily as a decorative pattern, with vases and bowls, plus a creamer and sugar, powder jar, even two plates and a tumbler.
I’ve had the amber footed cake server/shallow bowl and the pink center handled server, both sold long ago.

From what I see online and at shows this handled server is uncommon.a

A few years back I decided to keep some of the beautiful, beautiful glass we see for my own. This Frances amber footed bowl was one of my first to-keep purchases; we got it at the depression glass show in Dearborn.

This summer there was no way I could pass by this vase. The color is simply perfect, a mid green shade, full of springtime and quiet peace, plus the shape and pattern are exquisite. It came home with me!
