Antique Mercury Glass: A Timeless Treasure

-
Image
Antique mercury glass, also known as silvered glass or silvered mirror glass, is a type of glassware that has been produced since the 19th century. It is characterized by its silvered, reflective surface, which gives it a unique and elegant appearance. Mercury glass was first produced in Germany in the mid-19th century as a cheaper alternative to traditional silver mirrors. It was made by blowing double-walled glass vessels and filling them with a solution of silver nitrate and mercury. The glass was then sealed, and the solution was swirled around until the silver adhered to the inside of the glass.

Avon Cosmetics is a well-known global beauty company that has been around for over 135 years. The company was founded by David H. McConnell in 1886, in New York City. McConnell, a traveling book salesman, had noticed that his female customers were more interested in the free perfume samples he offered than in his books. This led him to the idea of creating a perfume company that would be run by women and sell its products directly to consumers. Initially, the company was called the California Perfume Company, and it sold just five fragrances. The name "Avon" was adopted in 1939, inspired by the Avon River in McConnell's native England. By this time, the company had expanded beyond fragrances and was selling a wider range of beauty products. In the early days, Avon products were sold door-to-door by female representatives, who were known as Avon Ladies. This model allowed women to earn an income at a time when few opportunities were available to them. It also allowed Avon ...
