Elevate your serveware or vintage glass collection with this stunning mid-century green glass center handle server, beautifully crafted with a diamond optic pressed pattern that plays with light in every direction. This piece features a 13″ wide plate with a scalloped edge and a 6″ heart-shaped handle rising gracefully from the center — both functional and decorative.

The vibrant avocado green hue is a hallmark of Depression-era and mid-century design, making it ideal for retro kitchen themes, spring and summer entertaining, or as a striking display piece. The unique optical texture of the glass creates a mesmerizing geometric depth, often referred to as a “cubist” or “honeycomb” motif.

Its elegantly curved handle allows for easy serving of cookies, finger sandwiches, or pastries, while its broad diameter provides a generous surface area. Perfect for use as a tea party tray, dessert server, or statement centerpiece.

Based on the design, color, and pattern, this appears to be a piece by Indiana Glass — specifically from their “Cube” or “Diamond Point” inspired line, often referred to as a “Diamond Optic” or “Panelled Daisy” variation depending on era and shape.

Indiana Glass Company, based in Dunkirk, Indiana, was one of the biggest producers of Depression glass and later mid-century pressed patterns. They sold through various outlets, including Tiara Exclusives (home party sales), and produced a wide array of decorative tableware into the 1980s.
