There’s a particular kind of romance to an Avon decanter from the late 1970s — the kind of piece that sat on a lace doily atop grandma’s dresser, catching afternoon light through the curtains. It never held much, but it held everything about the era it came from: soft color, sculpted detail, a little bit of ceremony in the everyday.
This is the Avon Victoriana Blue Milk Glass Cruet, marked “Avon May 1978” on the base, with an embossed rose and leaf motif wrapping the body and a rosebud-shaped stopper in deeper cornflower blue. The swirled, marbled slag glass gives every piece its own one-of-a-kind cloud pattern.
