Chance - Sights of London

(1/8) > >>

Ivo:
I found a 5.1/2" square plate today in original box with a transfer of a beefeater. Oval gold foil label reads "Chance Glass a member of the Pilkington Group - made in England"

The box says there are 6 different models in the "Sights of London" series -
Coldstream Guard
Chelsea Pensioner
Royal Horse Guard ( The Blues)
Beefeater
London Policeman
London Bus.

In style I'd say sixties.

Rare? Search did not reveal anything.

David E:
Thanks, there are in fact 10 'Sights of London', although produced in two sets (4 and 6). Date about 1970, I believe, but I'm still following this up.

Union Flag
Businessman
Scottish Piper
Underground


Horse Guard
Coldstream Guard
Chelsea Pensioner
Policeman
Bus
Beefeater

There is mention on my site, but it is squirreled away a little:

Fiestaware > Patterns > Seriesware

Frank:
Presumably 6 at the time Ivo's box was made, so date the addition of the other 4 and you get a good date range for set 1.

David E:
The oval label actually dates this particular dish post-1970. The style of decoration does look like the Swinging Sixties, but I think Chance were behind the times :wink:
