Avon Independence Day 1981 Bowl with Stand, On Rockwood Lane

In this week’s edition of Thrift Store Thursday, I’m sharing this beautiful Avon Independence Day 1981 decorative bowl.

Small Dragonfly Motif Inside of Avon Independence Day 1981 Bowl, On Rockwood Lane

This beautiful bowl has been sitting on my mom’s shelf for as long as I can remember along with some perfume bottles and small trinket music boxes so I was a little bit sad when she gave it to me to sell because of the memory, and I contemplated keeping it, but it doesn’t match anything, and I don’t really have a space for it. Pictures do wonders to help with the memories so into my shop at America’s Antique Mall in Melbourne it went (ask at the front for seller elk!)

About The Vintage Avon Independence Day Bowl

Floral Avon Independence Day 1981 Bowl with Stand

This is a beautiful little gold trimmed bowl with a floral motif of pink, green and yellow on the front, a little dragonfly and flower on the inside of the bowl, and includes a black stand.

Bottom of Avon Independence Day 1981 Bowl states Created Exclusively for Avon American Heirloom Independence Day 1981, On Rockwood Lane

It’s dated on the bottom 1981, but as per the original box, “its shape is based upon the classic Paul Revere bowl and its floral motif is reminiscent of Chinese export porcelains made around 1790… [and] inspired by antique pieces that would have been found in Early American Homes.”

How to Price Vintage Avon Independence Day Bowl

My tag states “Avon American Heirloom Independence Day 1981 Decorative Bowl with Stand”. With the information printed on the bottom of the bowl, it was really easy to pull it up in search.

In search, I found quite a handful of these bowls for sale both with and without the stand. With the stand, I found it ranges from $10 – $18. I priced mine at $15. Without the stand, I found it ranges from $5 – $10.

Where to Purchase a Vintage Avon Independence Day Bowl

I found several for sale online both with and without the stand. I am just going to share a few of them that come with the stand.

How to Decorate with a Decorative Bowl

BOWL OF LEMON ON A COFFEE TABLE

Yvonne from StoneGable shows us this really easy decorating idea with fruit and a decorative bowl.

Styled bookshelves.

Cyndy from The Creativity Exchange shows us how it can look with some sort of ball covered in greenery. Switch them out to any kind of small round object, like ornaments, styrofoam balls covered in flowers or monkey fist nautical knotted balls.

Here’s a great idea to place a faux plant in a bowl from Marian of Miss Mustard Seed.

Decorating with Ironstone

I like this one with the greenery wreath and candle from Ashley of Little Glass Jar.

If you are a crafter, you can use a decorative bowl to hide supplies or scraps, like Elizabeth from Crochet in Color has done here with yarn.

    Thank you for sharing the vintage Avon bowl, I used to sell Avon many years ago and then they were really making a lot of things that would become vintage if kept well. Thank you for finding Wonderful Wednesday, I do hope you will stop by each week to share again! Have a great week!

      How fun! I love seeing all the Avon things that are around now, like the ruby glassware, and the old perfume bottles.

    I have the same Avon bowl, but without the stand. It belonged to my husband’s maternal grandmother. It’s in excellent condition, so I’ll be keeping it.

Hey! I'm Alexandra, the blogger and creator behind On Rockwood Lane and EyeLoveKnots! My passion is being creative. My favorite thing to do is crochet, and you will almost always find me having a cup of coffee and working on a new crochet project, but when I'm not doing that, you might find me out at a local park rollerblading, baking some fresh cookies, picking veggies in the garden or re-decorating for a new season or holiday. My two cats are great supervisors for all my adventures (minus the being outside because they think it's too hot in Florida to be anywhere but inside), and make sure I take plenty of breaks.

Black OUGES Top (aff link)

When I received this black Ouges brand top in my September Amazon Wardrobe box, I was pretty happy. I have a similar top that I received in an earlier box that is the same brand, and I love the fit of it. I think the raglan style gives me a sort of confidence. I am a 42″ bust wearing the size Medium. There are several other colors available too!

It's lip balm season, and these lip balm holders are excellent! They come on a swivel hook that can be attached anywhere for easy access, and to make sure you don't lost your lip balm at the bottom of your bag. I personally have one of these. The quality is great, and Candace is lovely to work with! PLUS they come in 11 colors!
