This striking cylinder bud vase showcases a refined sculptural silhouette executed in a rich, velvety blue satin glass that beautifully diffuses ambient light. The vessel features an elegant, fluted neck and foot that frame a central frieze depicting classical figures and putti in crisp white relief. Capturing a timeless Neoclassical aesthetic, the vase offers a sophisticated pop of color and architectural geometry to any curated surface. Its classic proportions and tactile matte finish ensure a commanding decorative impact despite its intimate scale.
Attribution & Period
Produced by Avon during the 1970s, this piece represents the company's foray into premium decorative glassware inspired by classical European design. The object draws direct stylistic alignment from traditional English Wedgwood Jasperware, successfully translating classic cameo relief artistry into a molded frosted glass medium. The underside features the embossed authentic factory mark "AVON" alongside a Roman numeral mold mark, ensuring clear maker documentation from this mid-century era.
Dimensions & Weight
Condition
Clinical vintage condition. The exterior shows minor, age-appropriate surface wear and light rubbing along the raised blue edges of the fluted sections, consistent with gentle handling. The interior exhibits a persistent fogginess and faint mineral residue common in utilitarian glass vessels of this vintage, which remains entirely concealed when displayed or filled. Free of structural chips, cracks, or repairs.
Authenticity & Construction
Crafted via precision industrial mold-blowing techniques, the vase achieves its distinct tactile quality through a specialized satin frosting process applied to the exterior. The raised white classical figures are molded with fine detail, creating a crisp, dimensional contrast against the deep cobalt-blue ground. This marriage of materials highlights the late Mid-Century American trend of democratizing high-classical European design motifs for modern domestic interiors.
Placement
An ideal accent piece for a Neoclassical mantelpiece, a minimalist étagère, or styled alongside modern ceramic vessels on a well-lit entryway console table.
STANDARD ATTRIBUTION & VALUE DISCLOSURE; This piece is described to the best of current scholarly and market knowledge. Any maker or regional attribution is based on visual analysis, materials, construction techniques, and documented stylistic comparisons. As with many MCM and antique design objects, definitive attribution may not be possible without original labels or factory records. Pricing reflects condition, quality, decorative appeal, and current collector demand rather than guaranteed maker identification.
