"Royal Bride" which is a garland of pink (using a paler and a darker pink) roses, with grey leaves and grey feathery bits.

Interesting! Sue is it like this one?

as this appears to me to be the same pattern as this Myott china pattern called.... Royal Bride!

That's it, exactly. Two of them, in a fishnet-stocking patterned box. :evil:

Wonderful, that plate on eBay had me stumped! Great to know it's been nailed.

So was this a co-operative thing with Myott? Made to complement their china ware? More questions for David to find answers for...!!! :roll:

The links between glass and pottery trades is probably not that unlikely. For example, Lady Margaret Casson designed for Chance and Midwinter Pottery.

Additionally, Orlak was Chance's first ovenware, designed in 1929 by a Harold Stabler. This jogged something in the far recesses of my addled brain, but I finally came up with the link: Poole Pottery was originally named Carter Stabler & Adams, with Harold being the very same 'Stabler'.

Whether other ceramic/glass co-operations went on I have no idea, but I bet there's a few more lurking around

Sorry in advance for being Oz-centric, but ...

Would this be a known Chance piece:

Crown Artglass sold all sorts of stuff which looked like Chance - would they have been the local agents perhaps, or did they just use similar technique?

Hi Cathy,

I don't believe it's Chance. However, the overall size is similar and I suppose the wooden handles (an unknown Chance feature) could have been added on, but I can't recognise the pattern either.

Not a good photo, but is this an Aussie flower? I'm wondering if Chance shipped the glass blanks to be modifed by the customer? They were also commissioned to create customised glassware, such as ashtrays with company logos, etc.

Edit: There is also US company who also produced glassware from sheet glass, called Houze, see http://www.houze.com, with printed decoration. Although they finished trading in 2004, much of their earlier output from the 1960s was very similar to that of Chance, although I'm fairly sure most of it was commemorative ware, mottoware and crestware - I have a 1969 Lunar Landing commemorative dish, for example.

Here are a few typical Houze (Chance-alike) produced examples:

You can see how easy it is to mistake one for the other. :?

David, It's interesting, looking at the extra pictures of these ones, that you can see the back of the dishes which supports what you have said about Houze dishes being printed on the front rather the the back, as is Chance.

Yes, this does show it very well. There are a very few items of Chance that are printed on the front: Regency Gold and, I suspect, Woodland Silver are examples. But these really are a very rare exception and I still can't work out why they did it just for these patterns!

Hi all,

Just to notify a slight reorganisation of the site

This was necessary due to the way the Patterns page was expanding and was approaching 500KB in size. Now when you see the Patterns page it only contains the unidentified patterns, or those with queries, and text links are available at the top of the page to the respective patterns: Graphic, Floral or Aqualux.

In the meantime, can anyone identify this black and white floral pattern? Looks like a marigold to me (but then again, everything does!) :lol:

 :shock: click to zoom :shock:


I was wondering whether it's 'Silhouette'
