GLASSWARE:
MAGAZINE ADS & ILLUSTRATIONS - COLOR

Ever wonder what persuaded Mom or Grandma to buy that set of Candlewick or Cape Cod that now resides in your china cabinet? Chances are she saw an ad or illustration in Good Housekeeping, Better Homes and Gardens or another favorite magazine, and just had to have that beautiful crystal!

In my personal collection are more than 350 color magazine ads and illustrations featuring collectible glassware, pottery and china. Many are company ads, but there's also a variety of other products (cereals, juices, furniture...you name it!) advertised in which the dishes play a "supporting role," so to speak. Illustrations for articles, especially from women's magazines, often include dishes very familiar to today's collectors.

Decorative accents to any display of glassware, pottery or china, these vintage ads and illustrations also provide important historical documentation for a collection.

Color laser copies of these full-page color ads and illustrations are now available in two sizes: 11"x17" at $7.50 each and 8-1/2"x11" at $3.95 each plus postage. Because the original illustration sizes vary from about 4"x5" to 9"x12", the image sizes will be enlarged or reduced to fill the space proportionately, with some white margins. A few ads or brochures contain two pages; price is for each page. Copies of vertical half-page ads may also be ordered on 8-1/2"x14" paper at $5.95 each.

The magazine name and date of publication are shown at the end of each description. For example, GH-1249-23 means Good Housekeeping, December 1949, item 23 in a group of ads or illustrations from that issue.

Any questions, please send an e-mail to My Glass Duchess .
