eBay Avon 1876 Cape Cod Collection Ruby Red GLASS DECANTER Avon introduced the 1876 Cape Cod Collection in 1975 as their first venture into dinnerware. The design was based on an old Boston & Sandwich Glass Works pattern - Boston & Sandwich Glass Works was founded in 1825 in Cape Cod - hence the name (however they decided to merge it with the 1876 Philadelphia Centennial).
