Author Topic: Glass Identification - Hard to read writing ID = Chance "Lancer" (Read 5283 times)

Hi, Hoping someone can help. Ive been trying to read the writing inside a small bowl, but even with the magnifying glass Im having problems. Has anyone got any tips on the best way to view it. I have tried holding it up to the light and a few other ways. It looks a bit like Crance or maybe the first letter is an L. Not sure.

Any help would be great. Thanks, Sarah. I could post a piccy on if that would help, but I dont think the writing would photograph very well.

This is a dish (one of a set of dishes) which I am trying to put on ebay, but cant think of any words to describe. Can anyone help in wording my title - shape of dish? Is it a pedestal base? Sorry Im not very good on glass. Thanks , Sarah

P.S. You can find out more by going to Davids great site;

Thanks Deltab, Ive just found the bottom bowl when I typed in chance glass bowl in completed listings on ebay. Now I know what they are. So its looks like they both could be chance. Thanks again, Sarah

According to Davids site, it is Spiderweb (1934). (the last photo)
Not sure what details you found on ebay.

If the other bowl is Chance, David or one of the other members should be able to tell you.
I just went to his site for the information and I found the signature in Ivo's book first.

Thanks Deltab

.

Ive found out a bit about Chance on the web (not much there mind), but cant find the first bowl. I will put it on and say it might be Chance and they can make their own mind up then. Thats two listings sorted, just got to wade through the rest of the junk here now.

Cheers, Sarah

The signature is definitely Chance. Which bowl is the signature in?
