Avon
Avon began in 1886 as the California Perfume Company, but changed its name to Avon in 1939. "Avon" is an acronym of the first initial of the names of the founders' grandchildren. Avon offers some of the most popular and best selling collectibles. The little figure on the left is the "Bright Chipmunk Candlett Candle Holder". A glass votive candle holder in the shape of an adorable chipmunk eating a nut or acorn. Avon is still a very active producer, especially during the holiday season.

This sugar & creamer set with a transferware design of pink cabbage roses may have a dark past. It was made by Bohemia Ceramics Works which was founded in 1921 in what is now Nova Role, Czech Republic. Czechoslovakia was dissolved in 1993 and separated into Slovakia and the Czech Republic. As I looked for info. about this pottery, another place kept popping up-Neurohlau....? I turned to Wikipedia, turns out it was a concentration camp during WWII 1942-1945. Furthmore, prisoners, mostly women, were sent to work at the BCW factory during this time. Which may or may not be when this set was made. It is still the same pretty table set, but it seems different. I hope it isn't connected to that dark time. BCW was natioalized after WWII and became part of Karlvarsk Porcelain in 1958.
