We have several hundred black-and-white magazine ads and illustrations featuring glassware, pottery and china from the 1920s through the early 1960s. While we are still in the process of indexing this material, the selection of ads listed here will give you an idea of what's available.
The originals remain in a personal collection, but we are offering quality b&w photocopies on 8-1/2"x11" or 8-1/2"x14" paper. Because most of the ads and illustrations are small, they will be enlarged about 42% to fit the appropriately sized page, with generous margins.
Photocopies are available at $1.50 each (11") or $2.00 each (14") plus postage.
