Chance 'Ruby' quilted pattern.
« on: May 20, 2013, 02:14:04 PM »
Only the second of these things I've seen - the first, which I no longer have, measured 8.5/8".            But the size of this one at 7.5/8" seems not to be recorded in David's book, 'Chance Expressions'  -  so unsure if this would be called a bowl or dish.
Does anyone know if this size is more uncommon.                   Thanks for looking. :)
P.S.    50p yesterday morning ;D

I just checked mine and it is the larger 8.5/8" diameter one too, Paul, (22cm across x 5cm deep):

thanks to both  -  I get the impression that as David didn't record this slightly smaller size, then maybe it's a tad rarer (and I'm a big fan of rare things).        In pursuit of the act of thinning out in order to make room for those things for which I feel more affection, I stopped collecting Chance some year or more ago, and now have only a couple of Yasmin plates plus this bowl.
I suppose always worth keeping the eye in on these sort of pieces just in case one day I come across a Baxter designed flashed ruby one that Chance did, which must be worth more, surely.

thanks Rosie - well it's yours then for half that price then  -  I need to show a profit ;)

Think the last one cost me a fiver, and when I picked this one up on Sunday morning I half expected the seller to say at the least that or more, so very surprised to almost be given the thing.          Perhaps it's my acting in a seemingly nonchalant disinterested way that gets me bargains.
I've become really good at saying........"oh, so couple of quid no good to you then?" - when they've asked for five quid or more, and I then go to put the thing down and start to walk away - but you have to do that in a slow cautious way, in case some other know-all jumps on it. ;D
Can only assume the W/Fs ones really are much rarer.

There are a few on Miller's Antiques and the price is even higher...

I don't collect this sort of thing Paul,  but that was a kind offer thank you... however, I will 'nonchalantly walk away and let some other know-all jump on it'!!  ;D

fifty pee rather belies the fact that I spend a king's ransom on fuel to get to some of these places, so really not as cheap as I pretend.     
I thought the heat had gone out of the Chance price levels - maybe it's just the high spots that still command a few shillings more.
I also think the blue versions of these pieces fetch  more than the ruby ones.
