Featuring the LARGE PLATTER from the 1876 CAPE COD COLLECTION by Avon. The piece is reminiscent of early American pressed glass called “Sandwich Glass” that featured lacy, intricate designs, fine background stippling, and exquisite brilliance which reflected the superb craftsmanship of its makers.
Like early “Sandwich” glass, the platter is of great quality and very heavy, weighing 2 pounds 11 ounces. It measures about 13 ½” long by 10 ½” wide. Avon is stamped on the bottom. The platter is in great condition. There are no chips, cracks or repairs
Its deep ruby red hue adds a classic touch to winter holidays and Valentine's Day décor, and its timeless beauty brings a touch of elegance to any summertime gathering.
Sandwich Glass and the Avon 1876 Cape Cod Collection: The 1876 Cape Cod Collection pays tribute to the Boston & Sandwich Glass Works, founded in 1825 on Cape Cod, whose sandwich glass designs are well-known and highly prized. The collection was inspired by the classic Roman Rosette pattern and 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.
