Milk glass perfume bottle titled 'Lavender Cologne' by Avon

This Avon milk glass perfume bottle was produced in the 1960s-1970s as part of Avon's popular decorative cologne container line. Avon Products, Inc. became famous for creating collectible bottles that served dual purposes as both functional perfume containers and decorative home accessories. The milk glass material with hand-painted floral motifs was a signature style of this era, reflecting the mid-century modern aesthetic that emphasized both practicality and beauty in everyday objects. Avon collectibles have developed a dedicated following among vintage perfume bottle enthusiasts, mid-century modern collectors, and those who appreciate nostalgic Americana. These bottles appeal to collectors for their charming designs, affordable entry point into vintage collecting, and the nostalgia they evoke of door-to-door Avon sales representatives. The lavender cologne bottles with violet decorations are particularly sought after for their delicate appearance and connection to the popular floral fragrances of the period.
