David, it's looking really good. We've a good idea of the range of each pattern from that. I saw two very small Waverley bowls in Lancaster a while back, no more than 4" diameter, plain edge, about an inch deep. One pink glass and one milk white - the pink one had a hole through the centre for a stand or handle. Both marked Chance across the centre also.
I've not found anything about the Deluxe range yet - what do we know about that?

The actual range of Britannia is quite vast, as were Waverley and Spiderweb. I saw a picture in ' Mirror for Chance' and wished I'd photocopied it now, however I am hoping to get a scan which will be much better quality. The Deluxe range were essentially just coloured versions. I think these have a band of colour around the middle so the pattern looks different to make room for this, but is still identifiable. --- I've now found my notes on the Britannia ' De Luxe' range (not sure of spelling but that's what was written down): De Luxe range from 1950 used colour (Moss Green, Blue, Amethyst and Ivory inserts As to what the "inserts" are, I imagine this could either mean the 'cut' decoration or a separate panel of colour like the Waverley example: something at the back of my mind says the latter because I'm sure I've seen an example at some time. If it does have a separate panel it should look very impressive, I reckon. |

Britannia de luxe with ivory inserts sounds like that curious bowl in the stand you found on eBay the other day David?

I did wonder about that myself, but this has frosted 'inserts', rather than enamelled, and I think this is the criteria. Doesn't your large plate have frosted 'inserts' though?
I still think these are coloured panels.
Definition: 'Inserts' in this case meaning the 'cut' areas of the glass.

 :? Could the De Luxe range then, be the Waverly ones I've seen that have the coloured surfaces on them, (I'm not sure if it's not a kind of paint - it does wear off) and the Spiderweb ones that come with the bands of bobbly coloured/white glass bits on them? (It does look a bit like frosting, but of the granulated sugar in egg-white type, and I'm reluctant to use the word as far as this is concerned because I think "frosted glass" means something else.) |

Anne, thanks for confirming: I can't seem to find that photo but do you have the URL as I'd like to include it. Looking at the bowl very closely, I can confirm it IS coated, not frosted! :roll:
Christine, that Spiderweb sounded rather interesting. I wonder if this was pre-war due to the way the base was fixed?
Sue, see above: I'm sure the example I have is the 'ivory inserts' variety and will post a photo shortly.

I've now posted the photos of the Ivory Britannia on the site, but here they are for convenience:   The surround is chrome-plated with filigree decoration and either resin or bakelite handles. The glass measures 8" x 6½" (20 x 16.5), 2¼" (6) high. I think you can see why I thought it was frosted at first... :wink: |

David - check this white bowl with metal rim out. This is very similar to the bowl that I had in the past (lost pictures) - now thought to be Britannia pattern. This one too might be Chance, although I think the pattern is very slightly different from the Britannia ones you have. What do you think? http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=7391727669------------------------------------------------------------- Lol! Just spotted your picture - it is the same pattern  |

Anne (B): Yes, definitely Britannia, but curious it has a green tinge. It's also very interesting how they adapt the pattern to suit the shape and it does create a lot of variations. I missed the auction anyway, but am wondering where I can put all the piggin' stuff

Ooooohhhh nice find Anne! :lol: Thanks. Goodness knows what I'm going to do with all of it???? David - here's one to add to your list "Plates: Fluted Edge" - i.e. Summer Melody 4.75" diameter. (got no fractions on keyboard :roll: so if anyone knows how I can do them please let me know ) http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y195/glassie/chance022.jpgDid you notice the unremarkable Spiderweb bowl that went for £21 on eBay recently? Are prices going up? |
