NEW Vintage Avon Cape Cod 1876 Collection Ruby Red 10.5” Dinner Plate.

Avon Cape Cod 1876 Collection Ruby Red 10.5” Dinner Plate with original box. Gorgeous addition to any Christmas Table. This beautiful dinner plate is reminiscent of early American pressed glass called "Sandwich Glass." It featured lacy, intricate designs, fine background stippling and exquisite brilliance, which reflected the superb craftsmanship of its makers. Many of the detailed designs of this prized glass were produced by the Boston & Sandwich Glass Works, founded on Cape Cod in 1825. Inspired by the lacy delicacy of these designs, particularly the classic "Roman Rosette" pattern, Avon created this unique collection. Its name commemorates both the spirit of 1876 Philadelphia Centennial, which celebrated the 100th Anniversary of the Declaration of Independence, and the area where Sandwich glass originated. NEW in original box Note: I have several other set pieces (tumblers, mugs, dessert plates / bowls etc) in separate listings
