China & Glassware Quarterly

Although only published for one year in 1997, the China and Glass Quarterly made a significant contribution to the field. Each issue had 50 to 60 pages with articles, auction results, advertisements and a wealth of information on both British Ceramics (primarily transferware) as well as Early American Glass. Below we offer all the issues (for members) and a sampling of the articles.  In addition, we plan to periodically excerpt articles and other bits from the CGQ and other Arman efforts, and make them available once again to TCC members and the public. Learn and enjoy! The History of CGQ
