Chance Fiestaware Shapes & Sizes
A page attempting to catalogue Chance Fiestaware
shapes and associate them with a photographic example
(work
in progress). Compiled with the help of Max, Anne, Anne B,
Sue, Robbo and Tony H from GlassMessages.com.
Other data was sourced from Lesley Jackson's 20th
Century Factory Glass and Smethick
Heritage Centre Trust (SHCT).
All sizes are given in inches as originally specified
by Chance, to the nearest quarter (¼").
Due to the way the glass was manufactured it is subject
to slight variances (range given in italics),
probably due to the
initial size of the blank and/or variances in the slumping
process.
KEY:
 Those
patterns showing the 'F' logo indicate these have also
been noted with a 'Fiesta Glass' label (hence 1981 or later as
produced by Fiesta Glass Ltd).
Plates:
Plain Edge (see below for Dishes)
Note: Those measurements
in green indicate they could also
be used with add-on handles or
bases. |
