This pair of goblets features a profound, saturated ruby red hue that commands attention through its depth of color and crystalline clarity. The light interaction is exceptional, with the intricate pressed patterns creating a kaleidoscopic play of shadows and highlights across the interior bowl. Architecturally grounded by a sturdy hexagonal base, these vessels transition from a functional object to a sculptural set that emphasizes late 20th-century American decorative glass craftsmanship.
Attribution & Period
By Avon. This set is part of the "1876 Cape Cod Collection," which was introduced in 1975 and produced through the early 1990s. The design was inspired by the early American "Sandwich" glass patterns of the 19th century, characterized by the intricate diamond-point and circular medallion motifs. The presence of the "Avon" mark on the base, accompanied by mold numbers 2 and 40, confirms their mid-1970s origin during the peak of the collection's popularity.
Dimensions & Weight
Condition
These goblets are in excellent condition. No cracks, scrapes, flea bites, or professional repairs are observed. The glass remains clear with no signs of clouding or significant surface wear, preserving the integrity of the original luster.
Authenticity & Construction
The pieces are constructed of solid, heavy-pressed glass, a method that allows for the high-relief tactile patterns seen on the exterior. The saturation of the red is achieved through the addition of specific metallic oxides during the firing process, resulting in a consistent and vibrant color throughout the body rather than a surface flash. The mold marks are clean and well-defined, indicative of high-quality industrial glass production of the 1970s.
Placement
These goblets provide a bold chromatic accent for a refined tablescape or a back-lit bar display. Their rich color and classic geometry allow them to integrate seamlessly into both traditional holiday settings and contemporary eclectic interiors that favor saturated jewel tones and historical silhouettes.
STANDARD ATTRIBUTION & VALUE DISCLOSURE; This piece is described to the best of current scholarly and market knowledge. Any maker or regional attribution is based on visual analysis, materials, construction techniques, and documented stylistic comparisons. As with many MCM and antique design objects, definitive attribution may not be possible without original labels or factory records. Pricing reflects condition, quality, decorative appeal, and current collector demand rather than guaranteed maker identification.
