Lot 405:
A Trio of Art Deco Style Objects including an Avon Silver Car Decanter
Description
A collection of three objects reflecting the Art Deco and Machine Age aesthetic. The collection includes a streamlined roadster-form figural decanter, identified through market consensus as a Vintage Avon Silver Car Aftershave Decanter. This decanter is constructed of cast silver-toned material, likely aluminum or pot metal or plastic, featuring a slot consistent with some versions of this item that were also marketed as banks. The second item is a tall, faceted vessel made of clear glass with heavy, internally distressed silvering, achieving a mercury glass effect. A small cork stopper is attached to the vessel via metal hardware. The third item is a rectangular, streamlined box, possibly intended as a humidor or cigarette box. It consists of a cream-colored base, likely Bakelite or early plastic, topped with a polished metal lid secured by a hinged closure and fitted with a small, contrasting reddish-brown Bakelite or wood handle.
No measurements available.
