Rare Mrs Albee Award Glasses

 

We ran across this set of 12 stemware a while ago, and I have searched the internet and have not been able to find anything like them, anywhere.

They are an Avon award given to their members who had outstanding sales in the early 1970's.

From what I can gather, there were only six sets given out for the different regions across the country.

They feature Mrs Albee, the first Avon lady, dressed in all her finery of the late 1800's.

She is etched into the glass - the same design is on both the small and large glasses.

They are still in the original box that they arrived in back in the 1970's.

We have them listed on Ebay, and you can find the listing here.

They are a fine set of collectibles, and if you know anything about them, I would love to hear from you!

Blown Glass Paperweight


 A new piece of art glass has been added to the inventory.

It's a round paperweight made of blown glass.

There is a large bubble in the center that is surrounded by fine swirls of white.

A one of a kind piece of art.
