Post by: David E on February 02, 2008, 09:40:05 PM: Yes, very interesting - I wasn't aware of a yellow version. I have examples in turquoise and orange (the commoner colours) and lime (hardly ever seen) - but now yellow!

I am leaning towards these being an English maker, possibly Duroray, due to the Astra label seen on some examples, which state 'Made in England'. The fluting on the circular dishes probably does not conform to that used by Spiegelunion Flabeg, however, Spiegelunion did create a pattern like this, so was it an import?

Funnily, they were quite collectable when people believed they were made by Chance! 8)

I don't have anywhere to put it and only picked it up because of you and my learning / lurking here.

That's very kind of you, many thanks! Feel free to use the e-mail button (left column) if you need any details from me. 8)

Although I haven't publicised it much, I am intending to produce a web page where registered buyers can download and print new pages, showing additions, addendum and expansion to the existing data. The format will be PDF, and will permit full 300dpi print resolution. The only limiting factor will be the printer used, so a decent photo-quality paper would benefit, of course.

So this tray will supplement p.93 to include all four colours from the Astra range. Not sure about the shapes it produced though... :-\

Some of the thanks should be directed towards Anne, who will install the software for me.

Many thanks - it arrived this morning. Lovely condition and well-packed — now where do I leave this feedback?! ;)

The yellow is a little deeper than I was expecting and I shall take some time to try and photo all four colours together. But I am still wondering if there is a deeper blue that has yet to surface...

Anyway, I will acknowledge you as the donator of this piece - thanks again :D
