Retro Glass - British : Chance/Pilkington Glass : 1971 Chance Glass Turquoise 'Canterbury' Pattern Round Plate #1

1971 Chance Glass Turquoise 'Canterbury' Pattern Round Plate #1 - CHA-TURQCANT

£25.00

This type of Chance glass is fabulously funky and is, in our opinion, amongst the best designs that Chance produced during the 1970s - they would have been hugely fashionable at the time. This particular dish is round in shape with a fluted and gilded rim and with their psychedelic flowery 'Canterbury' pattern screenprinted on the reverse in orange - it looks brilliant on display. We think these are great, this is a scarce Chance pattern and a must for any serious retro and/or Chance glass collector. Please see all photographs for alternative views and close-ups.

SIZE: Diameter 9.5in/24cm Weight 355g

CONDITION: In really good original condition with no chips or other damage and very little wear to the gilt edge - there is a small area of scratches (approx. 1in/3cm in length) to the top surface of the plate in one place - this has been reflected in the price.

Retro Glass - British

This section of our site concentrates on the funky and colourful retro glass from Chance/Pilkington - with items designed by the legendary Michael Harris and Margaret Casson amongst others and in the trademark Chance slump moulded shapes and printed designs of fiestaware.

One of the things that particularly interest us in British retro glass from the 1950’s, 1960’s and 1970’s is the huge variety available to collectors – both in terms of production and price. This period of British glass making produced breathtaking studio pieces; brightly coloured and highly textured glass; elegant and stylised pieces; and of course the fabulously kitsch, psychedelic, flower power and monochromatic Chance fiestaware glass - there is something to suit every taste and budget and all have earned an equal place here in Pips Trip.

Our sincere thanks to the researcher and author David Encill for his generous help in learning about Chance glass and in helping to identify some items. We are also pleased and very excited to announce the impending publication of David's new book 'Chance Expressions' scheduled for release in Spring 2007. This is the first comprehensive guide to the domestic glassware produced by Chance Brothers - visit www.ChanceGlass.net for further information and details on how to order your copy.
