Salt Cellar, Avon Fostoria Diamond Pattern Pressed Glass Footed, USA, Vintage 1961–1985

Avon and Fostoria made an unlikely but enduring partnership. From 1961 to 1985, Fostoria Glass — one of America's most respected glass houses — supplied Avon with the vessels to house their candles and perfumes. This pressed glass salt cellar is one of those pieces: stippled diamond pattern wrapping the bowl, embossed dots along the rim, and the most quietly delightful detail of all — tiny claw feet at the base, easy to miss until you look closely.

Originally sold with a scented candle inside, this one has long since been freed of its original purpose and is ready for a new one. Use it as a salt cellar, a ring dish, a small candle holder, or simply as a pretty piece of American pressed glass on a shelf. "AVON" is embossed on the bottom — a nice mark for the collector who knows what it means. We also carry a companion Fostoria Strawberry Diamond salt cellar.

A sweet collectible for Avon or Fostoria enthusiasts, or a small and graceful addition to a vintage table.
