1981 Avon Mrs. Albee Award Female Figurine. Ceramic. Female in an orange dress and hat holding a bag. Stands almost 10" in height. Very good condition. No box.
This 1981 Mrs. Albee Award figurine is a highly collectible piece of Avon history, specifically created as a prestigious award for the company's top-performing representatives. The figurine beautifully depicts Persis Foster Eames Albee, the very first "Avon Lady," dressed in an elegant late-Victorian traveling ensemble. Standing nearly 10 inches tall, the porcelain piece features delicate hand-painted details, from the subtle patterns on her handbag to the lifelike texture of the fur trim on her coat and hat.
The Mrs. Albee series is prized by collectors for its historical accuracy in fashion and its representation of pioneering women in business. This particular 1981 edition is a wonderful example of the quality craftsmanship associated with these honorary awards. It serves as a sophisticated decorative accent for a vanity, bookshelf, or curio cabinet and is a must-have for any serious Avon or historical figurine enthusiast.
This item is vintage, over 45 years old. While it appears to be in very good condition, there is the possibility I may have missed a minor detail. In the unlikely event I missed a major flaw I would reach out prior to sending it.
