Cake Plate, Avon Hummingbird Morning Glory Frosted Etched Crystal 12½", France, Vintage 1986

There is something quietly extraordinary about frosted crystal well done — the way it holds light rather than reflecting it, the way an etched hummingbird in mid-hover seems to be moving even when perfectly still. Avon's Hummingbird pattern, produced in France between 1986 and 1995, achieves exactly that.

• Maker: Avon
• Pattern: Hummingbird Morning 
• Material: Frosted etched crystal
• Diameter: 12½ inches
• Origin: France
• Era: Vintage, 1986–1995
• Condition: Excellent vintage. Minor scratches consistent with age and use — difficult to photograph on crystal. Not new; please review all photos carefully, as all sales are final.

A hummingbird among morning glories is etched into the crystal and frosted to a soft matte finish, set against a clear ground that makes the design appear to float.

At 12½ inches this is a substantial torte plate — genuinely heavy French crystal, the kind you feel in your hands. Beautiful for spring and summer entertaining, Easter, Mother's Day, or any occasion where the table deserves something refined. Hand wash to maintain condition.

An elegant gift for someone who appreciates French crystal, a lovely addition to a spring table, or a find for the Avon collectible collector.
