http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/261234130

A collection of 20th century advertisements for glassware, silverware, and china, many of which were used in an exhibit at the Dallas Museum of Art and in the book based on the exhibit, China and Glass in America 1880-1980: From Tabletop to TV Tray. The ads are for Syracuse china, Fostoria glassware, Metlox Manufacturing Company's Poppytrail dinnerware, Oneida Community Plate silverware, Steuben crystal, Lenox china, Vernonware china (advertising designs by the artists Rockwell Kent and Don Blanding), Franciscan Ware dishes, Russel Wright dinnerware made by Steubenville Pottery, Wedgwood china, Rogers Bros./International Silver Co. silverplate, Pyrex wares, Heisey glassware, and Vollrath Ware, which was enameled kitchen ware. The Needlecraft Company advertised a set of dishes available to readers who sold subscriptions to its Home Arts magazine. Two ads are for Frigidaire refrigerators, one of which shows dishes. An ad for Sellers kitchen cabinets depicts a cabinet full of china and food items. As well, there is a public service announcement reminding readers that "meat is materiel of war" and urging the purchase of war bonds. Almost all the ads were removed from magazines, such as Vogue, Good Housekeeping, Ladies' Home Journal, and Woman's Home Companion. They date 1915-1953.
