I have the same pitcher and saucer. It was my grandmother's; she had several Avon perfume bottles. Other than that I can't offer anymore info.
Marcia,Im curious,do your #s on the bottom match up?? I thought it was odd that mine didnt. not sure if it really means anything or not,i was just wondering
Looks like blue milk glass. I have an old soap dish in the same looking glass.
these are very common. has a value around $10. but it is still very pretty. thanks for sharing with us.
The Avon Pitcher and Bowl came out in the early 70's. I have one or two of them, my mother began selling Avon in 1971. I think it may have been reissued sometime later but in a blue color rather than the aqua.
I have the aqua one. Got it at a thrift store today. It is just like the blue one, only it is aqua. 6 oz. Don''t know if there is a number under there. don't really want to remove the label, as that may hurt the value? The bottom is marked Avon 36. The pitcher has the original Skin so Soft label on it, someone told me it is worth less cause it is Avon, Is this true?
My mother had one of these. It came filled with bath oil, possibly Skin-So-Soft.
I also have a couple of the aqua sets and a blue set (bottle,stopper,bowl). Recently I found a small "jar" with lid in the aqua. Maybe orginial contained lotion? Anyone know how many pieces there are in all of these Avon aqua or blue "milkglass". Have loved these for years. Thank you!
My set is complete as well, and has a sticker on the bottom, Avon Skin so Soft. Bath stuff. It appears as if this set is fairly common. One would think much more information were available.
I have all three pieces still in the box never used,but mine is aqua.I even have the soap that goes in the soap dish.It's still wraped in paper it's has raised roses on it.
There is a pitcher and bowl ,soap dish and a little jar.
