Violet Reign Vintage is pleased to offer this trio of dress history decorative plates featuring engravings of men's and women's fashions from three different eras. 

(There are more of these in the series and I collect them so am selling off duplicates).

Not marked, but these are by Chance, and originally would have had sticky labels. 

Lovely as functional pieces and even better as wall plates.

14 x 14 cm 


Chance Glass began in 1824, when the British Crown Glass Company was purchased by Lucas Chance. He originally made his fortune in sheet glass, having ‘poached’ workers from the French glass industry.

Glass for the Crystal Palace, which housed the Great Exhibition of 1851, was supplied by Chance Brothers, and by 1884 the company was employing about 2000 people. The company also produced lighthouse and optic glass. In the 1930s, Chance began to produce domestic pressed glass to compete with that of Czechoslovakia.

During the 1950s the company was taken over by Pilkington Glass, and glass produced from 1952 to 1981 has become highly collectible.
