Topic: ChanceGlass.net : cataloguing Fiestaware patterns

[David E]

Tony,

Just had a stunning thought: you show two items with the 'Fiesta Glass' label, which isn't terribly common in the UK. Is it possible these were for export only???

In fact, I've seen'Fiestaware' labels, but think this was always in conjunction with the name 'Chance' as well.

I've photo-edited the one Fiesta label and this can be seen on the Chance 'Labels & Marks' page.

I just remembered.  There was three plates in an antique shop in Rochester last week.  They were a design I hadn't seen before.  A 'trippy flower' type of style, but in (from memory) beige and light blue.

I'll be back there soon, so I'll haggle a price for at least one of them.  :wink:

Is it the same as the one already featured on the Patterns page, Max?

David, this mixed floral display could be one of these mystery ones, perhaps, from your original post in this thread...

Possible floral patterns:
Mermaid Rose, Summer Melody, Woodland White, Hedgerow.

one of  the flowers looks a bit  like a gentian (the blue one), and the top flower is rather poppy-like, the yellow one I have seen as well and can't recall the name... it has a greyish green leaf. Someone might know it.

Possibly Bouquet?

[Anne]

Could be, or Summer Melody, as they are all summer-flowering plants?

I'm puzzling over Fragonard... I can't make a connection between Fragonard and Chance at all... total opposites I'd have thought!  (Fragonard painted those romantic lovers often seen on Limoges-type porcelain plates etc.)

Good thought. I've amended the page to suit.

That's another possible association. But like you I can't link this to any pattern I'm aware of, therefore the possible link to the Lace/Floral Hybrid.

:lol:  David!  The one I saw in Rochester IS there, labelled as Max's Trippy Flower, but it's not the same as my one.

I really must get my glass out and photograph it.  I'll do so asap.

You get your homework done first. missy, or you'll be grounded!  :lol: [private joke] Seriously, there's no rush — get your course work done first.

So it looks like there's yet another trippy flower. Wonder if there are any more?

Anyway, if you're interested I'll gladly send it down once I've finished with it.   Comes complete with box and the Union Flag 'Made In England' label.

:D:D

Tony's plate is not "Bouquet". Bouquet has a red and a white crysanthemum, some crysanthemum leaves and some blue cornflowers. I've got a boxed one with the name on a label on the back.

 :idea: Perhaps "Hedgerow", as these are hedgerow-sort of flowers?

 :idea: Fragonard is also the name of a huge pefume house. It's near Grasse, I've been there!

My labelled Clematis plate has "Chance Glass" written on it in that fiesta style of script (the later angular type).

I'm positive I've got stuff with fiesta labels, but that's all stuffed in the attic and roof space! I'm just working with what I can get my hands on in this chaos-that-we-call-home.
I've got a pint mug, with a birthday greeting on it, still in it's cardboard container which has fiesta glass printed all over it. I was saving it for somebody special! :twisted:

 :oops: Forgot to say in my last post,

"Welcome home/back Max! I hope your yoofs were not hostile, and that you had a lovely time!"

Thanks, Sue. I've included this description until a camera/photo is available.

It is also the name of a French Rococo painter, Jean-Honoré Fragonard, so I was expecting something along the lines of this style. Not sure which pattern relates to a smell :lol:

These labels are quite common - I'm not short of these - but the 'Fiesta' label makes me wonder why they used it, without any mention of Chance?

Can't wait to see them, and the pint mug! Might hold a few clues.
