Very interesting link Anne, thanks. I think this would really appeal to people like Bernard who are interested in the architectural and industrial use of glass. I'm not sure when they started to produce tableware, but I think it was much later.
I would also like to know more about the history of Chance until they closed in 1981 (a year before Whitefriars — how are the mighty fallen...) but I think the books mentioned in this thread will be extremely hard to get hold of.
BTW, Anne, did you know you're 8 away from your 1,000th post? :wink:
