Title: Not Chance Glacier plates - ID = Ravenhead
Post by: chloe on November 08, 2008, 10:41:58 PM

Are these the Glacier design by Chance - and if so what would the shape be?  Have been trying to identify things from my lovely new book  :hiclp:

Chloe, I don't believe these are Chance. I have a set of six from my Mum and we did know who made them but my memory fails me at the moment! Possibly Ravenhead but I'll think on it and come back to you asap. :)

Those are pressed glass not slumped glass. Chance slumped glass is almost literally window glass that has been heated till soft so that it sags into a preformed shape possibly with the aid of a bit of poking; it might have a flat base but definitely no foot.

Hello
Yes I believe they are Ravenhead. I have several some in a blue tint and others in a green tint!
