Who said Chance glass wasn't collectable?

That's very true, but I wonder how sustainable Chance glass will become. If demand exists, of course...
Richard Dennis? Is he the publishing magnate?
So... what's the next collecting craze, so we can all jump on the band-wagon :shock: :wink:
Emmi: you can always start it at £49, £99, £149 or whatever, but 99p does have a ring to it! :lol: Seriously, I think it will sell quite easily and wouldn't worry about a high start price as anything worth its salt and described well will usually reach a good figure.
Frank:
Now, yes but he started as a humble dealer and then had the idea of doing a book on all of the unsaleable stuff he was accumulating. I presume he still has his upmarket store in Ken Church st.
Victor Arwas did the same thing with art glass. He started with money and filled a warehouse before publishing, the rest is history.
I would have thought that Chance glass was made in sufficient quantities to have a large enough collector base to sustain stable prices. Probably made more pieces in one design then all of the Monart ever made.
Pip:
BLIMEY!!!! Only just caught up with this thread - I'm staggered. David, I might quote or link your site on some of my (bog standard) Chance glass auctions if you dont mind? Can't hurt :-)
Frank:
eBay is one of the best marketting tools on the web for specialist web-sites, I always encourage quoting.
My stamp collection has been mostly marketted on eBay and I have had over a hundred sales off eBay as a result. The only limitation is that the single link has to be an info site, so I link to my Me page and place the sale link there. This is what you learn if you buy one of those guides to getting rich on eBay.
David E:
Hi Pip, yes, feel free to link: the more exposure the better. I'm trying to educate people selling their "1950s" handkerchief vases with 1970s labels that they are much later, and that Margaret Casson did not necessarily design Swirl!
