Only shapes in this PDF file are documented to be in the Avalon Art Ware line
and
Only when they are in these two color combinations:
Solid Matt Ivory (MP-5 glaze)
or
Matt Ivory outside (MP-5 glaze) with a Turquoise Satin lining (MP-27 glaze)
Please note:
In the January 1st, 1942 sales brochure, only the candleholders and
candelabra were only sold in the solid matt Ivory glaze.
All vases and bowls were sold only in the matt ivory/turquoise satin combination.
See this PDF file
It is unknown if vases and bowls were made in solid matt ivory
or if the candleholders and candelabra were made in the matt ivory/turquoise satin combination prior to January 1st, 1942 and sold in the Avalon Art Ware line.
The Art Ware lines were marketing tools for sales. Shapes would be added and others would be discontinued to the art ware lines every year. Shapes would be in other lines.
Further research may indicate other shapes were included in the
Avalon Art Ware line. This will be updated as information is found.

Candlesticks & candleholders were sold in solid matt ivory.
The shapes offered in the Avalon Art Ware line were limited to the
following in this PDF file.
All of the shapes in this PDF file were also in the Catalina Art Ware line
with the exception of C-709 (no image available) and C-313.
Although the shapes were in the Catalina Art Ware line,
they were in other glazes and glaze combinations
other than the exterior in Ivory with the interior in turquoise satin.
Solid Ivory pieces would be considered to be in the Catalina Art Ware line,
with the exception of candlesticks and candleholders which were
also sold in the Avalon Art Ware line.
