David, have you seen this pattern? Any idea what it could be?

Hi Anne, as the seller eludes to it in the description, this is the Lace pattern in the rather uncommon black. There are two versions of Black Lace that I can determine: black on clear and black on white.

I have seen these listed three times now, but have resisted due to the slight damage - still worth going after if I had the room! But I do have an example of this colour on its way to me.

If you go to the Patterns page you will see it listed there.

David, here's the carafe, it's conical shaped one that you describe.

I've seen these wall plaques knocking around for years since the sixties and just wondered if they were made by Chance? Some have silhouette pictures on, this one's a village scene. It's transfer printed on the underside of the convex glass, and has a gilt edge.

:shock:

I don't know what that is, Anne! I was not expecting to see that when I opened a picture of Chance silhouette - I have seen Chance-y silhouette things, they tend to have a white background with black figure profiles on them - much like traditional old-fashioned silhouettes.

Its pretty grotesque in a nice sort of way :twisted: . 'Kitsch' sounds better :lol: Kind of goes with crochered poodle toilet roll covers, green lady prints and formica coffee tables with three wobbly legs :lol:
Those were the days!

This a description of your house, Anne? :wink:

I really don't think this is Chance but, again, I'm wondering if it's Houze? Although they closed in 2004, their old web site still operates and you can download their catalogue pages as a PDF!
http://www.houze.com/

There's also a few Houze items listed here:

Note the groovy 'white dish set'!

Robbo, many thanks for the photo - great quality and now posted on the Shapes page. I'll take one of my Swirl carafe to accompany it.

Such an excellent design - must be good because even Peter liked it!

I have posted one pattern that could be either Filigree or Silhouette — comments welcome! Sue, your thoughts on the old-style Silhouette is thought provoking. AS soon as I find more examples I'll post them for comments.

This Greek pattern is Hellenic.

Yep :!:

I'm championing the 'Neo-Grotesque' movement in interior design. :lol:

Thanks for the link - I'll check it out.

David, I didn't make the connection with the white lace one in the gallery. Thanks for pointing that out... is it a less common pattern? I don't recall seeing it before.

Your pattern called Poppy? I think is Anemones not poppies...? and I spotted a pair of candlesticks like t'other Anne's clematis one on eBay.com last night, but they had the gold filigree pattern rather than clematis. Did you see them? I also spotted a plate with what looks like yellow roses, but the pic wasn't very clear so I cannot be certain, and a set of Swirl shot glasses.

Max has gone very quiet, hasn't she? Coooeeeee dearie!

Thanks for correcting me Anne: Anemone it is. Slightly confusing as it looked like a poppy (to me :oops:), but I wasn't sure there was such a pattern. :?

As for the other items, I did see them all — my search is set up to look at the entire Glass section using the single keyword "chance"! :shock: But I might expand this to the .com to see whether it was exported (as suggested by Anne Womble).

However, I bet there are others sold in the Collectables section, but not identified as Chance. Likewise in the Glass section as well... not easy trying to track it all down.
