Two Avon Perfume Bottles, Lady and a Girl, 1970s
These are two from the series of perfume bottles in the form of ladies or young girls issued by Avon in the 1970s. The first represents a figure in 1920s dress and is sometimes found with a label (missing here) which reads ‘Roaring Twenties’ followed by the name of a perfume. The second is a country girl complete with its label which reads ‘Avon’ ‘Nearness’ but the same model is found with other labels, indicating that both these containers were used for more than one brand of perfume. These bottles were an amusing marketing ploy which doubtless contributed to many successful sales.Size: | Lavender 17 cm high, Pink/Cream 15.5 cm high |
Weight: | 325 grams |
Date: | 1970s |
Condition: | Good condition generally; the right arm of the first figure with slight paint loss in places (see image 3) and the original paper label missing. |
