Chance Pressed Glass Patterns
David E:
Sorry, of course it's Lancer: it has the 'oblongs'
Anne:
Confirmed as Lancer (ref book: British Table and Ornamental Glass by L.M Angus-Butterworth, published 1956, London). 8)
David E:
Anne's book does appear to have several examples of Chance glass and also covers other British manufacturers:
--- Quote ---"British Table and Ornamental Glass" by L. M. Angus-Butterworth,
Published Leonard Hill (Books) Ltd., 9 Eden Street, N.W.1, 1956
--- End quote ---
Additionally there appears to be a seventh pattern called 'Cato'. This also appears to have a star-cut base like Lancer and has coloured(?) rings with a gilt rim — I'm sure I've seen examples before!
See: http://www.ssb3.net/members/watch/userimages/10126/jhgn_016.jpg
The other two photos are (top): Lotus tots with Galleon image and (centre) an example of Wild Rice.
Strange, I always thought Cato was Peter Seller's sidekick in the Pink Panther movies... :lol:

It was a lucky find and well worth picking up if anyone happens across a copy. Loads of info and photos, as David says, not just on Chance but on many of the British glassmakers too.
David E:
I've now reorganised the Pressed Glass page so that they are organised by pattern, rather than type. Also placed patterns by date: from Spiderweb in 1934 till Lancer in 1953.
Another pattern to list shortly will be a scan from the book of the Cato pattern. If anyone can help with a date or this pattern I would be grateful. I suspect it might have been quite a late introduction.
Anne, I've now (finally!) included your Britannia pin dish and tray photos and this really starts to show the sheer variety of patterns that were available :shock: Oddly, I still haven't got photos of the 'Deluxe' range (coloured glass), but feel sure these will appear in time.
