Topic: Is this a Chance Fiesta paperweight?

[Anne E.B.]

I'm not sure what the dimensions of the Chance Fiesta paperweights are, but this one is just over 3.25" (8.5cm) diameter x approx. 1" depth.  It isn't shown in either of David's books but I thought it might just be one of theirs
TIA

I have the identical one, Anne, in a box which is labelled. It is on the board somewhere.
The label says, 'Crescent Glass - Black Country Museum'

Might be going there soon, I'll see if they still sell them.

Many thanks Della and Keith
From dimensions given in the previous discussion http://www.glassmessages.com/index.php/topic,63601.msg356801.html#msg356801 it seems as though mine has a much bigger diameter, so may be this precludes it from having a Chance Fiesta connection as presumably they'd all be the same size

Ah, I've just noticed that yours has an extra ring around the star, Anne. If I wasn't off to Devon this weekend, I would've gone to the Museum as I don't live that far away (shame on me, 8 years in the West Midlands and never been  ) Maybe next weekend

Take a cheque book it's not a cheap place to get in !

I think it might be an optical illusion Della.  The 8 pointy star extends right to the edge of the disc.  Its a lot plainer than the ones shown in the link. 
I really must stop buying obscure bits of glass and stick to what I know   My "unknowns" shelf is getting too big.
Enjoy your stay in Devon and if you manage to get further down to the S.W. pop in for a cuppa
