Avon 1876 Cap Cod Ruby Red Collection. Vintage set of 6 pedestal Cups. Very good pre owned condition. 1 is shown with a chip on the rim. All the rest (5) are not chipped or cracked. And are in excellent pre owned condition Many of the detailed designs of this prized glass were produced by the Boston & Sandwich Glass Works, founded on Cape Cod in 1825 Other companies in the region competed, but the popularity of "Sandwich" pieces resulted in the name becoming a generic term for pressed glass. Inspired by the lacy delicacy of these designs, especially the classic “Roman Rosette" pattern, Avon has created this unique collection, Cape COD Not only does it recall the beauty of this quality glass, but its name commemorates both the spirit of the 1876 Philadelphia Centennial, which celebrated the 100th Anniversary of the Declaration of Independence, and the area where Sandwich glass originated
