Now for something completely different...
as some bloke once said.
Radical thinking: I've just gone through a huge amount of Chance glass, and the only items I can find WITH any meaningful, overlapping gilt has the 'Swirl' pattern. All the rest is edge painted: some of it shiny, some quite matte (but in the last case, often a little worn)
So... that being the case, this could mean that
ALL 'Swirl' with overlapping gilt is actually another make, like Twist... :shock: Remember, Tony Cartwright was most emphatic that Chance simply painted the edge.
Gulp, that's a bit of a bombshell! But it would explain soooooo many things!
Pat, I forgot to respond properly. Thanks for your praise and I'm so glad people are taking real advantage of the data — but remember this is all
our work,
not just mine!
Just don't ask me to put a frilly pink border onto the web pages :lol:
While I do have one example of the 3-sided nut dish, I would always welcome photos of other patterns, so please feel free to post them. Probably best on the main Chance thread though.
