Avon 1876 Cape Cod Ruby Red dessert or salad plate. This is a set of 5 plates. Early America style. Produced in the 1980’s. Very good pre owned condition. No signs of being used. Just a little scratching from being stored and stacked. No chips or cracks. 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
