Found this on Tuesday - looks like Chance... I think! 8)
-
Looks like to to me, but an unknown variant, DE will be :mrgreen:
-
If the shape and size is consistent with a Chance diamond dish (9½ x 6 inches, 24 x 15cm), then a very strong candidate :D
Fantastic! This looks to be like the decoration from one of the variants shown in the photo on p58. Very rare and it shows that 'Cut Pearl' wasn't always a static design (if this item can be categorised as such).
Peter Knowles' dish (opposite page) is another such example that 'broke the rules'.
Great find :mrgreen:
-
9½" x 6" it is David. My find of the week methinks. :)
-
I'm sure it's Chance - I am not aware of any other company producing intaglio work from opal-flashed flat glass.
Find of the century, even? ;)
-
Please tell me this is *not* find of the week - I've just sold one of those for not much money :(
-
It's rare I'm afraid! Sorry
-
Oh! I daren't even ask about the other one I also sold for £5 :-\
Well done though Anne (did you buy it in Brackley by any chance ;))
ETA: I guess not - just seen the date of the post :sleep:
-
Chloe, was it exactly the same pattern? There are several variants (none of them are common though.) Did you by chance keep a photo of yours? I bought mine in Kendal Cumbria.
-
I never photographed as I put them in my antiques centre and they sold the next day! The other one was the same pattern as well, but more oval (looked more like a strawberry)
I am fairly relaxed about these things - it was the first time I knew Chance existed, and have kept some nice Fiesta and swirl pieces for myself. At least I know what to look for now :)
-
My first Chance Opal flashed pearl cut small boat dish.
-
Very nice Ming! :hiclp:
-
Nice one Ming! :mrgreen:
I've merged yours into the earlier topic about cut pearl so we can try and keep the shapes and patterns together for ease of reference. :X:
