Vintage 1970s Avon Cape Cod Ruby Red Glass Covered Butter Dish

This striking covered butter dish is part of Avon’s beloved 1876 Cape Cod Collection, produced during the 1970s to early 1980s. Crafted in deep ruby red pressed glass, its bold color and intricate diamond-and-fan pattern were designed to echo the style of early American glassware from the late 19th century. The geometric banding and textured finial add both elegance and functionality, while the scalloped edges enhance its timeless charm.

Measuring approximately 8 ½ inches in length, this butter dish is substantial in both weight and presence. Avon’s Cape Cod line was released to commemorate the 1876 Centennial and became a staple in American households, often displayed proudly in china cabinets. Collectors today value these pieces not only for their nostalgic beauty but also for their sturdy craftsmanship that has stood the test of time. This dish is perfect for collectors of Depression glass, mid-century décor enthusiasts, or anyone wanting to add a pop of vintage elegance to the dining table.
