Hi Christine,

Thanks for this. We have identified one Dahli pattern so, unless this is another variety, it might be something else. Probably have to wait for one of the Annes or Max to help otherwise

David - I've just found my disc with some pictures which might be useful - so please use them as you wish.

Luckily I copied some of my glass gallery before my computer crashed at Christmas.  These pictures are a couple of year's old and are pieces that I have had in the past.

There are two intaglio pieces shown.  The white, I am more than certain, is Chance.  The ruby - not too sure, but could be.  The orange dish has screen printed gingham check on back and looks to be Chance.  I sold these and they went to the USA.  How I wish I'd kept them!

The smaller one is the ocean spray(?) design.  The blue with handle has a copper beaten effect, and the flowery one...... :roll: I'm no horticulturalist ... more a weedologist  (the innocuous kind   :lol: )

The last one is shown in its original packaging with label.

If I find any more, will post them.

Wow Anne, these are fantastic finds!!! :shock:

I'm pretty sure these are ALL Chance. The white intaglio matches the design of Emmi's handkerchief vase and tray. The ruby intaglio is almost certainly Chance and matches my own ruby dish (on the site) which was positively IDed by Nigel.

The orange Ginham dish is weird, but also matches Handkerchief vases - might be Fiesta Glass though as they also produced this pattern on Handkerchief vases after 1981. Must be very scarce though.

How I wish I'd kept them!

Me too! :?    :cry:

Yes, I think this more-or-less confirms it's 'Golden Spray' while Sue's dish is 'Ocean Spray' (orange-red and blue-green respectively.

The blue is Aqualux and far more common. I do have an example of the pattern, though not of the shape, with handle. There is anotehr 'hammered' effect but with larger 'dimples'. The floral is one of the unidentified patterns - any clues, peeps? Not a Daff is it, or am I being Dafft?

The last is the odd oblong 'wedge' shape that Max raised earlier. Quite an unusual shape.

QUESTIONS:
1. Do you have higher resolution images of these? :?
2. Do you have approx. sizes of these?
3. Do you have a record of who you sold to?

Many, many thanks for sharing these

Anne's unknown flowers are narcissus and violets - spring flowers

[David E]

Ah thanks - this could be the Viola pattern then, although the Narcissus does seem to predominate.

So could this be the Springtime pattern, I wonder?

[Anne E.B.]

Another ruby intaglio believed to have been Chance - this time a bowl.

Not the Violas pattern - I'm pretty sure that's the one with the pansies/violas on that we looked at earlier. Springtime would be a good possibility.

:D:D

The black and white one is the Dahlias one I've been on about - raggedy pompoms.

I'm really chuffed about my plate being Ocean Spray, but Anne's ones seem to have gold rims, while mine does not. Not a vestige of a trace. :cry:

There is the possibility they didn't use a gold trim. Only one of the Lace patterns (white on clear) uses this and all the others are 'giltless' (or not guilty :lol: ) Otherwise, the previous owner scratched it all off! :x

Still a bit lost about the 'raggedy pom-poms' pattern: could it be Silhouette, I wonder?

[David E]

I've now received two Hellenic plates, both the same size (9¾"), one plain rim the other fluted, and have posted better photos on the site

Following is an example photo of the pattern. Quite unusual and not often seen. However, I'm sure I've seen this on a pale blue background so if anyone can confirm I would be grateful.
