RARE 10" Gladding McBean Avalon Art Ware Vase - Ivory/Turquoise - $175 (Cedar Hills)
QR Code Link to This Post
This "Master" size piece features the quintessential Avalon aesthetic: a smooth, satin-matte Ivory exterior contrasted with a high-gloss Turquoise Blue interior. It bears the authentic oval GMcB hallmark (ink stamp) on the base, dating this specific example to the earliest production years of the line (circa 1937–1938). At nearly 10 inches wide, this is an exceptionally rare find; the vast majority of surviving Avalon globes are the standard 4-inch or 6-inch versions.
