Blimey, Sue's playing Chance gin rummy! :lol: :lol:

I got a wavy edge white lace on clear, with gilt rim. New in box with Fiesta Glass sticker and 'British Manufacture' sticker. Not sure that's terribly exciting though...lol (£1.25!)

This is my latest buy - couple of hours ago.

Only £1 :!: and couldn't resist it. Its in pristine condition. See what you've started David :twisted: :roll:

I did see another piece of glass that might/not be Chance. It was a happy anniversary greeting thingymajig - it was just a curved rectangle that stood upright, with screen printed back. That one didn't ding my bell, so it stayed where it was

Anne E.B. :wink:

:D:D

I think you were quite right to leave the "card" thing where it was, Anne!

David seems to have found out that Fiesta Ware is Chance, but Fiesta Glass is later and is all the anniversay sort of stuff, and came along with Michael Joseph's takeover.

Same family of glass, different generation!

Quote from: "Sue"

A few weeks ago I picked up in a local charity shop (and bought!) a triangular, clear, smoky-grey, float-slumped tit-bit dish......

Realised I didn't answer this properly: it could very well be Grey Dawn but it might be difficult to differentiate between this and anything Joseph Joseph made unless it has a pattern!

Quote

"Royal Bride" which is a garland of pink

Thanks Sue, one I haven't had mention of before - can you stop now?

If possible I wuuldn't mind a photo of the label at some stage, for the web site. This pattern could be post-Chance, of course.

Could be very interesting. If it's Lace (and not Filigree, 1971) then this confirms the continuence of manufacture for over 30 years of this pattern - Lace is the first, in 1951! Good find though. I'm pretty sure the 'Fiesta Glass' label was used after Chance closed. Those 'Brit' stickers also have a habit of falling off as well, so take care.

Who, me? The very idea! :roll:

Not sure which pattern this is, but could be post-Chance - Fiesta Glass Ltd. started in 1981-on. The photo frame (for that's what it sounds like) might also be post-Chance, but I need to confirm this.

P.S. Sue, you beat me to it, re. Fiestaware and Fiesta Glass Ltd

:shock:

The box with the royal bride stuff is one of the mesh/fishnet stockings pattern, which I think is still Fiesta Ware or Chance. Fiesta Glass all seems to come in self-coloured boxes.

Did you notice the frisson of spiciness I introduced? (Well, anything seems spicy after these pink flowery things!)

Any ideas about which royal bride it might be? liz, mags, annie?

I believe being Mrs Spike Milligan could be a very difficult thing to be, but not as hard as it was to be Spike Milligan. May he rest in peace. He brought untold joy to many.

Looks like my Dahlia plate

I saw one yesterday in Keswick. They may be Chance but I think they are much later. I remember seeing these appear in the shops in the 80's. I think they are still on sale in card shops etc. aren't they?

Quote from: "Dencill"

Oh, my cousin's husband's first cousin is Mrs Spike Milligan (the third, and last one)

Now there's a claim to fame! :shock: :roll: :lol:

Certainly not the first two, but could also be Fergie or Di, I suppose. Commemorative ware doesn't seem to have been made until much later (Silver & Gold Wedding, c.1980, for example)

The pattern on my new Fiesta Glass plate (with British Manufacture sticker) is exactly the same pattern as my plate with the lace in black.

PS: The green background is paper in the bottom of the box. :wink:

:D:D

I don't think the royal bride pattern is commemorative ware as such, it's an actual pattern, nothing commemorative is written on it. Also, the glass seems quite thin, and the commemorative stuff doesn't, but that's just an impression I'm developing. I think some earlier stuff may be thicker, but only early might be thin?

OOOOhhh for a camera!

:shock: Definitely a good buy. That's confirmation of a good 30 year life span for one pattern. Unusual box as well.
