Quote from: "DenCill"

One definitely has an Autumnal feel to it and has blackberries included: hardly "a bouquet", so I'm wondering if this is another pattern* and we're still missing a Bouquet pattern?

* I seem to remember alluding to an 'Autumn' pattern a while ago, but can't remember where this information originally came from.

I think it was me suggesting they were autumn items - in fact all four of the patterns we think are Bouquet are autumn flowers/fruit. As well as the bramble fruit one of them has acorns in it if you look, another has Michaelmas daisies and chrysanthemums which naturally flower in the autumn. I'll try and scan the catalogue page and send it to you.

Always possible there's an Autumn range we know nothing about

But I know very little about flowers, so I'll be guided by this.

I've just unearthed a black & white photocopy of the Bouquet range. The first three are correct (current web number in brackets):

Rose/Acorns (1), Carnations (2), Poppy (3) and the last is undetermined but looks like poppies again (edit: or roses?), with a spiky flower of about the same size and some smaller 'daisy-like' flowers at the edge. These patterns are all shown on a white background (so later Chance).

Yay! David, the one you have as ?? is the fifth pattern in the Bailey 6714 series. (note they are reversed in the catalogue):

The only problem is that the 4th one on my web page is not shown in the photocopy, but is an actual example. Given that there are only four Bouquet examples shown, of which three are confirmed, where does this fifth one (from the Bailey catalogue) fit in? :?

I was hoping you could tell me that! :wink:

Seriously, it's another puzzle that we need to solve. Add it to the list of questions for Monday?

Thinking aloud here... we've never seen an example of the 4th one on the picture you posted have we? I wonder if Chance decided to use the other design that we have seen instead of it?

I have just bought a 9.75 inch Hedgerow 12-flute plate, would you like a piccy?

One Hedgerow fluted Chance plate. Let me know if you need high-res ones emailing for anything. Click to enlarge

David,
I bought a cake stand today - white lace, twelve flutes, metal foot different to that on the one on the cake-stand page (this one, I suppose, more "neo-classical" in style). Would you like a photo?

David,
Here they are:
Whole Thing
Base

Base a little worn, the pattern is alternating vine-leaves and bunches of grapes. Underneath it's green felt, complete with ground in cake crumbs :roll:.

Thanks Robbo: really great pictures and I haven't seen that style before

As it has a green felt base it won't be possible to see if there's a makers name stamped inside, but I suspect it's James Clarke & Sons.
