Vintage 1978 Avon ceramic sleeping pig pomander holder with floral design. 5.5” Long

Avon has a long history of producing collectible figurines and decorative items, often sold through their direct sales model. The company became particularly well-known for its charming ceramic pieces, which were popular gifts and collectibles, especially during the latter half of the 20th century. These items often featured whimsical designs and were produced in limited runs, making them sought after by collectors.

This particular pig figurine, identified as a 1978 Avon exclusive, likely served as a pomander or potpourri holder, designed to release fragrance into a room. The floral motif and sleeping pose add to its decorative appeal, characteristic of Avon's collectible offerings from that era. Its production in Brazil by Ceramarte for Avon further adds to its collectible provenance.
