Sandwich Glass and the Avon 1876 Cape Cod Collection: The Avon 1876 Cape Cod Collection pays tribute to the Boston & Sandwich Glass Works, founded in 1825 on Cape Cod, whose designs are well-known and highly prized. The collection was inspired by the classic Roman Rosette pattern; its name commemorates the 1876 Philadelphia Centennial and the region of origin for Sandwich glass. Avon produced the glassware through Wheaton Glass from 1975 to 1993.
