while trawling for a present for a niece, i came across this ebay 330109439474 is it Chance? and if so did Thelwell only design a one off or is there a series?

Part of a series, Sue. I believe Chance used four of the transfers from the set of six produced by Johnson Matthey.

Thanks David, niece collects Thelwell but at six i think i will leave glass out.
I wonder why only four out of six?.

I should say "Read The Book"  ;D I have a quite detailed section on this design alone.

But it was probably due to short production runs not making it economically viable to have a larger range.
