Decanter, Avon, Smart Move Collection, Chess King, Brown Glass, Silver Top, Empty, Vintage 1970s

The King. The most protected piece on the board — and arguably the most dignified bottle in the Smart Move collection.

This Avon aftershave decanter from the 1970s is shaped as a chess king, with a brown glass body and silver-tone crown top. Originally sold with Tai Winds aftershave (first issued by Avon in 1971), it's now empty. Retains its original Avon sticker on the bottom — a detail that makes collectors smile. Avon's novelty decanters from this era were among the company's most popular collectibles, and the chess set remains one of the most complete and displayable of the series. We carry the Rook and Bishop from this set as well.

On a desk, a mantel, or a bar cart — one piece, or the beginning of a set.
