Thanks for the interesting question. The book "Avon's 1876 Cape Cod Collection Glass Dinnerware" by Debbie and Randy Coe states that the Wheaton Glass Company in Millville, New Jersey made the glass. Avon's 1876 glass dinnerware line was introduced in 1975 and the pattern was discontinued in 1993. There were 37 different items in the line.

  1. Does anyone know if the Avon Cape Cod glassware is lead free? I am unable to find this answer. Thank you.

  2. Yes, the book is correct. All of the ruby Cape Cod was made at Wheaton Glass. I worked at Wheaton Glass during this time. Was involved in all of this Avon Cape Cod. I actually have a collection of this glass in green. Ruby glass does not get its red appearance until it is goes through a lehr. Mine went through the lehr but came out green. It always does this at the beginning of a run
