I bought this today with you in mind - you were well worth 50p, I thought. :wink: :lol:

It's a Hellenic long tray with three indentations, there's a couple of very small slivers missing unfortunately. I tried Searching to see if you'd had this tray already, but with 36 pages to search through, I gave up!
The photo is bad because it's my mini-digital camera, I can take a better one tomorrow if you're interested. :)

Nice find, Max! There's one point about the Hellenic pattern (two varieties BTW): you don't see it very often. Not many people have woken up to this fact and you'll rarely see examples on eBay, but Tony Cartwright did tell me recently it was not a very popular pattern, so it wouldn't have lasted long.
The other variety effectively reversed the vine and grapes pattern to the outer rim and used just two(?) silhouetted Greek figures in the centre. Personally I prefer the green version myself.
I have a suspicion there's also a blue version of this style, but I only remember seeing this when I wasn't really looking for Chance glass particularly, so it might have been me dreaming :roll: :wink:

David - what do you think about this 2½" square piece? Just this sec. bought it whilst popping to corner shop can you believe!? A neighbour was having a garage sale, and well, I couldn't resist - and there it was. :roll:

The transfer is on the underside. I would imagine it to be written in Danish. I've had porcelain Langelinie plates in the past but this is the first glass one I've seen.
:wink:

Hi Anne,
It's not a known Chance shape, but that doesn't mean it wasn't by them.
The sculpture is a well-known icon of Denmark, but I can't think what it's called - also has a humorous nickname * Can anyone jog my memory?
* A bit like Birmingham's own sculpture of a nude in a fountain righout outside the Town Hall, which is nicknamed "Floozy in a Jacuzzi" :lol:
