Chance Expressions, Vol.1
The History of Domestic Glassware from Chance Brothers
ISBN-13: 978-0-9549196-1-0

A study of all the domestic glassware produced by Chance Brothers from 1929–1981, and incorporating a collectors' guide.

From a collectors point of view there is very little to help with the identification, dating, valuation and relative rarity of domestic glassware produced by Chance Brothers. There are also many misleading comments and statements that simpy propogate rumours and incorrect identification for some of the patterns – all these are addressed in Chance Expressions.

Chance Additions
A Sequel to Chance Expressions:
The History of Domestic Glassware from Chance Brothers

Chance Additions could almost be considered to be Vol.1½ as it fills in the gaps that remained after Chance Expressions was published. Inevitably, these were important findings and it would have been remiss if these details were not made available.

Chance Reflections, Vol.2
The History and Technology from Chance Brothers
including a short study of the Birmingham glass industry from 1750

As the Chance Archives are now being made publically available, it is intended to research these thoroughly over three years to ensure as much of the facts and figures are made available.

The archives cover 300 large boxes and 400 ledgers, so this is not a minor undertaking.
