An impressive and comprehensive 40-piece Avon Cape Cod Collection in the iconic ruby red pressed glass pattern, one of the most recognizable and enduring American collectible glassware lines of the late twentieth century. Richly colored and beautifully molded, the collection showcases Avon's celebrated Cape Cod design, distinguished by its intricate diamond-cut motif inspired by Early American pressed glass and enhanced by a deep, luminous ruby finish. Produced by Avon beginning in the 1970s, the Cape Cod Collection quickly became one of the company's most successful home décor and tableware offerings. Manufactured by renowned American glassmakers under contract for Avon, the series earned a devoted following for its exceptional quality, elegant appearance, and timeless Colonial Revival aesthetic. Today, complete and well-preserved groupings remain highly desirable among collectors seeking to assemble extensive matching services. This substantial assortment includes dinner plates, stemmed dessert or sherbet dishes, serving platters, a divided relish tray with matching handled cheese server, candlesticks, cruets with stoppers, bowls, cups, and additional serving accessories, offering remarkable versatility for both display and entertaining. The deep cranberry-red coloration catches and reflects light beautifully, creating an elegant presentation whether displayed in a cabinet or used as a festive holiday service. An exceptional opportunity to acquire a large, coordinated Avon Cape Cod collection in one offering, ideal for collectors of American pressed glass, Avon memorabilia, or those seeking an elegant vintage ruby glass table service.
