Vintage Avon fine porcelain decorated egg trinket box with butterflies. Circa 1974 6”

Avon Products, Inc. is an American multinational cosmetics, skincare, and personal care company. Founded in 1886 by David H. McConnell, Avon became famous for its direct selling model, where representatives sold products door-to-door. In addition to cosmetics, Avon also produced a wide range of collectible items, including decorative porcelain pieces like this egg, which became popular in the latter half of the 20th century.

This particular porcelain egg is a decorative trinket box, likely produced as part of Avon's collectible offerings, possibly for Easter or as a general decorative item. The detailed hand-painted butterflies and floral designs, often accented with gold trim, were characteristic of Avon's collectible porcelain lines, appealing to collectors who appreciated their aesthetic value and affordability. These items were often given as gifts and are now sought after by collectors of vintage Avon memorabilia.
