Chance Pressed Glass Patterns
Lustrousstone:
Today's other Chance :roll: sighting was a 6.5 in Spderweb, fully frosted and affixed into an aluminium base, glued with that whte stuff not screwed.
chopin-liszt:
:D :D :?
Could the De Luxe range then, be the Waverly ones I've seen that have the coloured surfaces on them, (I'm not sure if it's not a kind of paint - it does wear off) and the Spiderweb ones that come with the bands of bobbly coloured/white glass bits on them?
(It does look a bit like frosting, but of the granulated sugar in egg-white type, and I'm reluctant to use the word as far as this is concerned because I think "frosted glass" means something else.)
David E:
Anne, thanks for confirming: I can't seem to find that photo but do you have the URL as I'd like to include it. Looking at the bowl very closely, I can confirm it IS coated, not frosted! :roll:
Christine, that Spiderweb sounded rather interesting. I wonder if this was pre-war due to the way the base was fixed?
Sue, see above: I'm sure the example I have is the 'ivory inserts' variety and will post a photo shortly.
David E:
I've now posted the photos of the Ivory Britannia on the site, but here they are for convenience:
The surround is chrome-plated with filigree decoration and either resin or bakelite handles. The glass measures 8" x 6½" (20 x 16.5), 2¼" (6) high.
I think you can see why I thought it was frosted at first... :wink:
Anne E.B.:
David - check this white bowl with metal rim out. This is very similar to the bowl that I had in the past (lost pictures) - now thought to be Britannia pattern. This one too might be Chance, although I think the pattern is very slightly different from the Britannia ones you have. What do you think?
