Product Details

Avon's Cape Cod collection, introduced in 1975, quickly became one of their most popular lines of glassware. The ruby red color and pressed glass patterns were designed to evoke the elegance of earlier American pressed glass, making them appealing to collectors seeking vintage aesthetics at an affordable price. These pieces were often sold as part of promotional campaigns or as gifts, contributing to their widespread availability. This particular item, a cake stand, is a functional piece designed for serving desserts, but its decorative nature also makes it a popular display item. The pressed glass technique allows for intricate detailing, such as the fluted pattern seen on the plate and the decorative base, which are hallmarks of the Cape Cod design. The ruby color is a signature of this specific Avon collection.
