This is one of the patterns I do like... I found some of the 5" diameter pintrays in this - it's called Grantleigh, and on the smaller items the brighter border is omitted, leaving just the centre pattern. The 5" trays were also made into candle holders.

Yes, I have to agree and actually bought three Grantleigh dishes from this seller. As described they were in superb condition.

Can't see where the term "gorgeous" is used though...

Thanks Anne, but I do actually have one :wink:

Not that uncommon though; it's the yellow & white gingham pattern. The unusual thing about this particular type is that the white stripes are horizontal, whereas all the other varieties (with a white stripe, that is) are vertical.

Would that be just a case of the transfer print being placed differently?

I guess not (having tried to visualise it :roll: :lol: )

No. The white bands continue all around the vase, while the yellow vertical stripes are truncated, so this was the transfer as intended.

If you can imagine the vase flattened out, as it would be before slumping, the white stripes would form squares, while the yellow ones (edit) are tapered towards the base and would radiate out towards the top.

EDIT: I have since noticed a red/white gingham pattern where the white stripes are horizontal. This is a 5" height, so quite an uncommon model.

Thanks, Anne: I knew you liked the stuff really :lol:

Viola is invariably referred to as Pansies and the photos look fine to me - slight tweak is all that's required and the close-ups in particular look great!

7402833256 - is this Chance?!

Any ideas what the pattern could possibly be? I'm short of a photo for Thistle (yeah, right! :lol: ) and Carnation (I doubt it :? ) at the mo, but as it has silver included, it does suggest Fiesta Glass. However, these are normally commemorative plates, aren't they?

Anne E.B. · « **Reply #268 on:** March 28, 2006, 06:55:52 PM »

It certainly looks like Chance, but..... silver.....? May be a Silver Wedding Anniversary commemorative plate???

Anne · « **Reply #269 on:** March 28, 2006, 07:13:51 PM »

The anniversary plates are usually marked as such though... in fancy lettering. It looks like Chance - reminds me of the raggedy flower Silhouette pattern a bit.

No reason why silver couldn't be used - we know of one design in white and gold (Elegance).

The flowers are spring flowers - I can see daffs, harebells, lilies, iris, anemones amongst others.
