Glass quail-shaped decanter by Avon
History
This decorative quail decanter was produced by Avon Products in the 1970s as part of their collectible bottle series designed to hold men's aftershave and cologne. Avon created numerous figural bottles during this era, including wildlife and Americana themes, which became popular gifts and promotional items. The quail design typically contained fragrances like Wild Country or Deep Woods After Shave, and was sold through Avon's direct-sales representatives. Avon collectible bottles from the 1970s appeal to vintage Avon collectors, nostalgia enthusiasts, and decorative glass collectors who appreciate mid-century Americana and figural bottle designs. These items are valued for their nostalgic charm, detailed molded glass work, and representation of a distinctive era in American consumer culture. The quail decanter remains a recognizable symbol of Avon's creative marketing approach during its golden age of collectible containers.
