 Vintage Avon 1876 Cape Cod Ruby Red Glass Dual Candlestick Perfume Bottle

(Cast Mold # 3)

Bring a touch of timeless Victorian elegance to your home décor with this beautiful piece of American glass history!

This vintage Avon 1876 Cape Cod Ruby Red Glass Bottle is one of the most clever, dual-purpose collectibles from Avon’s iconic glassware era (produced 1975–1993). Modeled after the 19th-century "Roman Rosette" Sandwich Glass pattern, this deep ruby red pressed glass piece was originally sold individually through Avon catalogs as a fragrance vessel. Today, it is highly sought after as a gorgeous, functional taper candle holder.

Once the top cap is removed, the rim perfectly holds a standard 3/4-inch taper candle, making it a stunning centerpiece for holiday tables, vintage vanities, or festive mantle displays. This specific piece features the distinct "Cast Mold 3" mark on the base, making it a wonderful addition for collectors tracking specific factory production runs.

Item Specifics & Details:

  • Brand: Avon (Manufactured by Wheaton Glass)

  • Collection: 1876 Cape Cod Collection

  • Material: Deep Ruby Red Pressed Glass

  • Pattern: Roman Rosette / Early American Victorian Style

  • Mold Mark: Cast Mold 3 (Stamped on bottom)

  • Height: Approx. 8.5 to 8.75 inches

  • Weight: 13.1 ounces (Empty)

  • Dual-Purpose Function: Originally a cologne/perfume bottle; functions beautifully as a standard 3/4" taper candlestick holder.

Used – Great Vintage Condition. The glass is exceptionally clean with no chips, cracks, or internal perfume residue stains. There is subtle, expected vintage wear lightly noticeable on the very bottom base (little to no flea bites). The top cap’s inner plastic fastener shows some vintage wear but remains structurally strong and screws tightly onto the bottle.


Detailed Condition Report: 

  • Glass Clarity: Excellent. The bottle has been thoroughly washed, dried, and is completely empty with no perfume left inside. There are absolutely no internal residue stains, oily films, or cloudiness.

  • Integrity: No chips, cracks, or major flea bites.

  • Base: Glass shows very subtle, light vintage shelf-wear on the bottom rim from sitting on surfaces over the decades, which is completely normal and expected for authentic vintage glassware.

  • Hardware/Cap: The removable top cap is included. The inner plastic fastener shows minor vintage wear from age, but it remains very strong and secures tightly to the bottle neck without slipping.

Note: This listing is for one (1) individual dual-purpose candlestick bottle. Perfect if you are looking to replace a broken piece, complete a pair, or add a pop of vibrant red to your vintage glass collection!
