Yeah, I paid a bit more than I thought, but less than it could have been. Er...if you know what I mean.

I do

But I think that was a good price for a 7" 'Escher'. Often see the commoner 4" ones go for around that price

Well done.

The Swirl tray is very nice and quite unusual — glad I got it! :wink:

I see the 'Waterford' Handkerchief vase has been listed again with a £50 price tag. Ooooh, shall I...? :lol:

Nice holiday Anne?

Yes, I think it's called extracting the wee-wee...

Great thanks David! Back to reality with a bump :roll:

Unable to get better pics of the Lizard lighthouse lens this time round, because we flew down and had no other means of transport. I like walking, but that's pushing it a bit :roll: :lol: Next visit around June - so its on my list of things to do.

Just when you thought it was safe! :lol: another "not to be confused with Sovereign Rose" turns up. This time, a 5½" square one with gilt edge

Thanks Anne, another one for the 'Shapes' page. With the more popular designs, six of these were often teamed up with the rectangular Sandwich Tray (13½ x 5¼-ish).

I currently have complete sets of Calypto, Ruby Greco, Lace (white, black and black on white versions!) and probably Anemone kicking around somewhere... plus odds and sods of both sizes, of course :roll:

I also have the Carnation pattern winging its way to me, so will post this shortly. Sue's also kindly sending down Thistle and Grey Dawn so this has virtually polished off the missing ones.

I just wished I could ID that Spirograph pattern! :evil:

I have succumbed at last :shock: :oops: I now have a 13 inch oblong sandwich dish in Bamboo with plain edges complete with label and tatty box. Would you like a picture?

Hi Christine: yes a photo would be most welcome

Bamboo is not a terribly common pattern – probably being a later Chance design – so the shape and size is quite important (well, to me anyway!). Chance made quite a few different "rectangular" shapes; most had straight edges with tight curved corners, but some had rounded edges and, later, others with more pronounced rounded corners.

Good purchase though! And don't worry, we do therapy sessions every Friday... :lol:

That's good book me in! :lol: :lol: :lol:

Sorry, we're fully booked! :twisted: :wink:

But the real coincidence is that I've managed to pick up a Bamboo plate, also no gilt on rim so this may be a common factor with this pattern. However, some patterns have been found in both states: Anemone is one example, so there isn't always a hard and fast rule. Would still like a photo of your tray, Christine

Also managed to find one of those rather scarce Preserve Pots, with lid, this one in Calypto:

Anyone seen this in any other pattern. Swirl or Anemone, perhaps?

Lustrousstone · « **Reply #288 on:** April 19, 2006, 07:28:44 PM »

Here it is. It measures 13.25 by 6.25 inches, give or take a weeny bit. I suspect it was one of those 'unwanted gifts'! The box is gold stars on cream.
Click to enlarge. Do you want me to email a copy?

Thanks Christine

I've used this on the 'Shapes' page as it's one of the 'Rounded' rectangles. A later shape, not terribly common, and it would appear to be the first I've recorded of this size as well :wink:
