A page cataloguing Chance Fiestaware 'floral' designed patterns (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).

KEY:
Those patterns showing the 'F' logo indicate these have also been noted with a 'Fiesta Glass' label (hence 1981 or later).

According to their 1974 Home Ornaments and Gifts Christmas Bulletin (intended for staff), the Decorative Glass section lists a "Fluted Plate, Coloumbine, 'Chance'" having a price of £1.13.

Other Chance items sold by Boots at this time were all from the 'Yellow Rose' range: Oval Savoury Server (99p), Candle Holder (£1.10), Fluted Plate (£1.25), Sandwich Tray (£1.40), and from 'Lotus': Fluted Plate (£1.13).
