All courtesy of the same seller. Sue's been admiring the Mdina on there as well!

Must admit that if it is Green Leaves it's absolutely nothing to what I was expecting! :shock:

Anyone wondered why Casson's two designs, Night Sky and Green Leaves are so rare, yet Swirl is so common? :?

Answers on a postcard...

It would be, but not at $315... I also found it on the 'Net at £ 183.52 — would appear to be the same seller!

But I suppose any book with 'Chance' and 'glass' in the title will be worth having!

:shock:

I've just seen the "Green Leaves" - very Bridget Reilly!

I've not seen it on my travels, I would not have missed it, or left it behind!

I can only think that Swirl must have been produced for a much longer period of time than the others, OR that people liked the others, used and broke them, while nobody liked the Swirl so it just sat in cupboards until it went to the charity shop. :twisted:

PS :lol: Are we trying for a record for the longest thread?

Interesting theory! Not sure I agree with it, mind you

The pattern, though, hasn't been positively confirmed as yet. The style and shape look correct, but the size doesn't conform to anything else I've seen. Green glass is also a little odd.

The date I have for Swirl is from 1955 to c.1965, so this can be used as a fairly reliable way to cross-reference any labels that are used on this pattern. The more data we have on the lifespan of patterns and labels, the more accurate dates can be given. There is always the possibility I will locate manufacturers records at some stage that will provide accurate dating of patterns.

I'm wondering how far we can go before the Board gets broken :lol:

I noted your query about the size of the "Green Leaves" dish, ran off and measured one of the dishes I have that is a blue background with a white sunflower-like doilly on it, with white edging, which is....

11 1/4" long and 4 1/2" wide!

I hope you get a camera soon, Sue, as all these mystery ones are intriguing me! :? :shock:

Does this match with any pattern on the site so far? This couldn't be Wild Rice or Willow Pattern?

It's not a mystery one, you found one on ebay, Max said she had an orangey/red one, I said I had them in blue and green.

This one!

Yes, I remember - sorry been a long day and I'm a little confuddled :?

Thanks.
