Hi Christine,
Yes, I did notice we were wafting close to the breeze! :D
I have noted a total of 18 different vintage cars depicted on Chance trays. These came in three different sets of six in each — see the Seriesware web page.
Currently I don't have any photos of these, so it would be welcome - don't spend loads of dosh on it though! I won't be trying to realise every single example, so a decent example from each should suffice.
Many thanks.
Still thinking about your odd dish Anne, but there is a set of 3" (7.5cm) square dishes I have in the Lace pattern :!: Forgot about these, although the measurement is a gnat's nadger over 3" though. Of course, Chance could have created any size glass within reason, but I'd have thought it would have been a stock size.
[Addendum: the corners on this dish are quite round, so this would indicate a later (post-1970) dish if it were Chance]
Anne:
I rather think the vintage cars were from the open stock transfers - there are several sets in the catalogue.
Lustrousstone:
The car won't be much. It's in a cheap charity shop.
Today, I saw a Filigran shaped plate, i.e., alternate round and square flutes, made for the Glasgow Transport Musuem. I would have expected that to have been made in the UK!

That's so kind of you Anne – I owe you tons!
Christine: if the plate is a Filigran shape that would be most unusual. But as you're finding plenty of 'Swirl-ish' plates and dishes in your area I'm pretty sure these would have originated from Sherdley. You don't fancy writing a book on the company do you?! :D At least it would eliminate a lot of the imposters :shock: :wink:
Lustrousstone:
Ooh no. I only edit. Sherdley sounds more likely than Filgran for a fairly limited sale UK souvenir with probably one outlet!. It wouldn't have been a super cheap item either because it ws about 8 inches across.
