Well-spotted on the direction of swirling David, I'm hopeless on the visual details! However, the other Twist we've found has a solid spot, which is why I thought this was Swirl not Twist. Whatever it is, it appears to have been made/packaged for party plan selling by Ceramia Parties - but I've never heard of them and can find no reference to them

There is also a 'Swirl' made by Unionglas in Bavaria, where the spokes go in the opposite direction, except the 'hole' is much larger. Max has a dish featuring a boar in the central hole and the boar does figure in this region's heritage.

Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, I'd say

New thread started to investigate differences in Swirl patterns from Chance, and comparisons to other maker's imitations:

Centre detail http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y195/glassie/misc882.jpg

Dahlia 13¼" x 6¼" - slightly rounded corners.

Not the best of pics. with a curious reflection :roll: Will replace with better ones if necessary

Thanks Anne!

A variation in the sense that each patter nwas adapted for each shape, so can sometimes look slightly different. Seems the Dahlia pattern was fairly popular as it keeps springing up here and there.

But I hadn't noted either of these patterns on the rounded rectangular shape before

David,
Here's some more Calypto drink ware - some shot glasses, approx 6.5cm high.

Some of the gold's worn off, but after 22 charity shops that pound was really burning a hole in my pocket!

Thanks, Robbo. BTW, did you realise how much the Calypto Giraffe carafes were fetching on eBay? They have been fetching over £30 :shock:

Robbo,

Just looked at your Tableware Gallery and noticed this item:

:shock: click to zoom :shock:

I think I must have initially IDed this as Regency Gold? I'll still stand by that, but I noticed the style of pattern is quite different: the gilt areas are much thicker. Again, I suppose Chance adapted this to suit the size of dish. Wouldn't mind a close-up of that, if possible.

I've got two now! The gold on the most recent one is much better than the first one I bought. Thou' me thinks I leave the auctioning until after the World Cup! LOL I'm sure there will be some bargains to pick up during the England games.

David, any particular area that you'd like a detail? Remember - all that glitters... :lol: :lol:

I got a Chance glass butterfly ashtray in mint condition. It's never been out of it's box and is lovely.

Will it help with the cataloguing David?

The bottom of it is frosted with a clear edging.
