Neither do I Max :( Have heaps of other Chance patterns though... including the Galleon plate (as of yesterday!) and 2 more Hedgerow pieces. :)

That's one of the patterns I don't have a record of, so I would appreciate a hi-resolution photo for the book, please!

I think that must be the sixth (and last?) pattern? (famous last words)

Edit: I'd also appreciate knowing the thickness as well - 2mm or 3mm?

congrats. Keith, I'm all in favour of owning rare things :thup:     In truth I have never seen a green leaf Chance piece, although looking at the links from Anne/David etc. looks as though there are quite a few known different sorts now.   Funny how we salivate that much more when a piece is rare  -  guess it is the collector coming out in us.     I did pick up a Jasmine(?) plate the other day - the one with the red background - which according to the book is rated as a No. 6, so that pacified me for a few hours - but I've got the shakes again already (need another good find) ;D.    Anyway, well done.

That'd be Yasmin not Jasmine, Paul: http://www.glassmessages.com/index.php/topic,8493.0.html

thanks for your correction Anne - appreciated as always :)  -  You may not believe this, but quite honestly I actually typed Yasmin - looked at the word - and thought no, that's too much like a girls name, I must be wrong, and changed it to Jasmin (unlike some, I'm at work without my books) :ooh:      The design of the plate is, I think, more attractive than most, and I believe there is more than one colourway for this pattern.    thanks again for your help.

I'm lucky that my books are with me at home and at work Paul. :)  David states three colours for this pattern, red, white and yellow. I've never seen a yellow one in the flesh, so to speak, yet.
