This Avon "fashion boot" Sonnet cologne bottle is from 1972. In pretty light blue milk glass, this 4 ounce size bottle is in excellent condition, but I believe it is missing a pin cushion that would have been on top of the plastic lid.

It feels as though it is still full of cologne. Shipping rules for perfume are that the bottle with perfume has to be shipped via parcel. If you would like it to be sent first class or priority mail, I would need to dump out the perfume.

Avon perfume and cologne bottles are very collectible. This little charmer would look cute in a country or farmhouse style decor and be adorable on a vintage or antique vanity. Great for that vintage glass or Avon bottle collector, too.

From Collector's Weekly:
"Avon Products, Inc., was launched in the late 19th century as California Perfume Company by a traveling book salesman named David H. McConnell. While roaming the United States with his books in tow, McConnell was tinkering with rose-scented perfume formulas. He noted that the ladies who answered the door were more interested in his homemade perfume samples than the volumes he was trying to sell. He started selling his perfume on the road as well, eventually settled with his new wife, Lucy, in New York City, and established a perfumery there in 1886.

Early on, McConnell realized that women sold perfume to other women better than he ever could, so he began to recruit female sales agents. One of the women he met on the road was 50-year-old Persis Foster Eames ("P.F.E.") Albee, who ran a small store out of her home in Winchester, New Hampshire. McConnell hired her as his first sales representative, a.k.a., the first "Avon lady." A shrewd businesswoman, Albee became the CPC's "depot agent" for the region, recruiting and training other local saleswomen, and pioneering the multi-level-marketing business model that gave turn-of-the-century women a rare opportunity to become financially independent.

By the late 1910s, McConnell had more than 10,000 salesladies shilling his cosmetics around the country, with branches as far west as San Francisco. . . In 1938, a year after McConnell's death, the whole company was renamed Avon Products, Inc. Throughout the 20th century, Avon continue to expand into a multi-national corporation, with labs and salespeople all over the world. It wasn't until the late 1960s that Avon perfume bottles were produced in novelty shapes like cars, dogs, and cats, which were specifically designed to be collected. Avon's novelty perfume bottles, decanters, and containers have become icons of late 20th century kitsch."
