Apologies if you've already got this one.... Just bought this morning, along with a large 11.25"x9" shallow gilt edge 'Swirl' dish. Not very good pics. I'm afraid. The light was bouncing about all over the place this morning.

Adam: Thanks for the sizes. I might ask for hi-res photos of the two labelled dishes but without the lids, if you don't mind.

As for the box styles, I do have 'Columbine' (1974) and 'Regency Gold' (1972) in the 'star' type box, which may confirm a later date, however it can't be ignored that someone might have switched the boxes around to make a complete unit!

Anne B: :shock: Cripes, that's an unusual one: shape as well. Looks similar to the hybrid 'Filigree' one I have listed (see 'Pictorial' link), but with a totally different floral pattern.

Could be later Fiestaware, post-1981, but I have no idea about the flowers: I don't think this is one of the missing 'Bouquet' patterns, but ones I have yet to see pictures of are: Lotus (c.1974, for Boots?), Blossom (1975), Bouquet (4 patterns to this series). However, Fiesta Glass did produce another, coloured version of Honeysuckle — isn't that red flower, with yellow tips, one of those? But what about the yellow and blue flowers? [Weeds? :lol: ]

I'm also having second thoughts whether these are adapted from Filigree as well: could be Lace, which was my first assumption.

Nice photos, so I expect stupendous ones of Lizard Point now!

:wink:

Have a nice holiday!

David - I recognised the Honeysuckle, and it occurred to me that the others could be weeds. I thought of wild meadow flowers maybe. The little blue ones reminded me of Speedwell, which grows on fields/meadows. You have to look very closely to spot it amonst grasses because its quite tiny. The yellow one could be some sort of Columbine type flower. I aint no Charlie Dimmock - so I'm sure other members will have a better idea than me.

I'll post some better pictures on my return.

Or forgetmenots?

Honeysuckle and forget-me-nots, and what looks like a yellow clematis...but could be a celandine, and the yellow bud looks a bit like a dandelion bud! so I'd say a wild flower or hedgerow sort of name David.

Very nice find Anne.

IMPORTANT CHANGES TO SITE:

Due to the rapid growth of the Chance glass side within glassyeye.com, I decided to create a whole new web site purely to contain the research into this subject. The URL is now...

http://www.chanceglass.net

I think you'll find the site MUCH easier to navigate and the pages have been slimmed out more. It has also meant that the menu can now be far more specific, so each major topic has been split further (all Pressed glass styles into its own page, for example).

I have also discovered a new Hellenic pattern that's been posted.

New updates to the New site. Now positively identified are Bamboo, Blossom, Summer, Wild Rose.

All thanks to a lady named Maggie Tyrell who's been collecting for about four years and amassed several thousand pieces! The pieces are gradually fitting into place and starting to make sense

Pat and Anne(s): thanks for the feedback. Hedgerow is confimed already and the only other name is Bouquet, but there are four to this set and none fit. I think this must be a Fiesta Glass pattern.

Latest news I have is as follows:

Both Bouquet and Summer ranges comprise four patterns that probably derived from a single transfer. This meant smaller items could have totally different patterns but were all part of the same range.

The Green Leaves and Spirograph pattern could both be Golden Lagoon, but this needs confirming. If so, I'm completely stumped as to what the Green Leaves pattern looks like.

EDIT: Received a strange plate this morning! Although it is the standard Columbine pattern it contains an odd label titled 'Fiona Glass' in a standard 'diamond' decorated box:

It is possible that as this pattern was (apparently) sold exclusively to Boots the Chemists this was simply their rebranding. Not enough samples to form an opinion ATM, but certainly an interesting label.

Anne B: It looks as though your dish with the Filigree border is called 'Honeysuckle'.

I believe Fiesta Glass introduced ranges with Filigree or Lace decorated borders; if so, it should date this after 1981.

The dish I show on the site as a Hybrid Floral-Lace is actually called 'Harmony' and is again by Fiesta Glass.

EDIT: Emmi's white intaglio handkerchief vase and accompanying dish has actually got a name: Cut Pearl! I always thought this could be intaglio
