Avon's Catch a Fish decanter — a boy in a big yellow straw hat, 8.5 inches tall, standing at the ready, minus the fishing pole, which has gone the way of so many fishing poles — brought a slice of summer nostalgia to bath and vanity shelves in the late 1970s.

A sweet piece for an Avon collector, a fishing enthusiast, or a nostalgic summer or cabin-style display.
Released between 1976 and 1978, this decanter was originally sold filled with Sweet Honesty, Field Flowers, or Sonnet cologne — three of Avon's most popular fragrances of the era. Figural bottles like this one were part of Avon's broader strategy through the 1960s and 70s of packaging cologne and aftershave in novelty shapes, from cars to animals to storybook characters, so the bottle outlived the fragrance as a collectible in its own right.
