:hi:
Found this just yesterday. Glass oblong shallow bowl. Has the label on it, so I know it is Chance Glass. Any additional info about it (year, or rarity, or what it is really called). Maybe it is a candy Dish? I was not finding much for this type of *shape.
~ 13.5 inches long
~ 5.25 inches wide
~ Yellow Roses
~ Gold / Black oval Foil label (intact) for Chance glass
This is only my second piece here, but I recall seeing lots growing up. Not sure where it is all hiding here (??)
Thanks for you help! :thup:

Hello Rose,according to the book,1972,Yellow Rose pattern,you probably figured that one out ::),not seen to often here as it was made for export,not rare I'm afraid ;D ;D

Thanks Keith.
So you do not see the shape overthere -- or the Color/pattern? Was this made ONLY for Export? totally?
:ghug:
-
I'm afraid it's a common shape, and a fairly common pattern. I certainly see enough of it in charity shops!
It's a sandwich plate. :thup:
-
If I remember right the book said Fiesta glass did it again for the local market in 1981,don't think I've seen this pattern before,not round here ;D ;D
-
Are you sure you aren't confusing it with Mermaid Rose Sue? That has fewer petals and no white background.

I have googled those names now -- and now I see that there is a difference in the flowers. Yeah, I see what you mean one has fewer petals on it. So this is a Sandwich plate?
I now have a total of 2 pieces of Chance Glass :clap:
-
Now I don't know! It's yellow roses. One bunch of yellow roses looks exactly like the next bunch of yellow roses.
But I certainly have seen these around - it's the white background that makes it look different to me.
One is an example, two is a mistake, three is a collection Rose. You need another bit!
-
Maybe they had to export them across the border :24:

Oh - oh ...... almost to the collection point. LOL

Sorry for the lateness in replying, but I have been finalising Patricia's new book, so haven't had a 'chance' to look at the forum as often.
The white background indicates a later Chance production, perhaps c.1978, but then it was invariably used, as Keith surmised, for Fiesta Glass (so post-1981). I guess this dates between 1978 and 1981.

look what I just found after mooching through the stock room at a local charity shop with the manageress ;D
-
Are you allowed to mooch with the manageress, Keith??? :o
-
Does mooch mean something other than I thought :o
-
Thanks David E for your reply, and the dating of it :ghug:
Keith finds all the good stuff.....He's a great Shopper!!! :thup:
-
...and a better moocher :o :o :pb:

Hi there:
FOUND another Chance glass with intact label as this one posted...but this one has the RED ROSES on it. Thought I would just post here since now I have 2 of these same items, same shape, size.....but different flowers and flower colors.
Thanks
-
Nice find Rose,not seen that colour before it looks orange or is that the flash ;D ;D you now have a collection as Sue said ;D ;D
-
This design is Sovereign Rose. The red/orange colouring was always a problem for Chance. This was because the transfers were intended for ceramics, which had a different firing temperature and where the red colour would always come out truer.
My book mentions the problems of them getting true colours, in particular red. Don't have a copy to hand ATM, bur perhaps Keith can help out?
-
Can't find anything to add to Davids comment apart from it being released in 1972,I'll have another look,had a long day ::) :o :o
-
Thanks both David and Keith :-* :-* Kiss for each !!
Yup, one more and I have a collection here......lol......and I am glad they both have their labels on them!!
Sovereign Rose is the name. Kinda neat as my username is ROSE and I grew up near a town/village called Sovereign....so I will not forget the name of this item!!
;D
-
Found it,due to Chances using transfers sourced from other companies there were occasional problems with red in the design fading during the firing process, ;D
-
Thanks so much for the info.....and one more, and IT IS a collection!! LOL
