A spectacular set for a spring or summer table, a ladies' luncheon, Easter, or Mother's Day — or a generous gift for someone who sets a beautiful table.

This retired Avon pattern in frosted French crystal is one of those sets that's genuinely hard to find complete. The etching is delicate and precise: a hummingbird hovering among morning glory blooms, rendered in the soft glow of frosted glass against clear crystal. Avon produced this pattern between 1986 and 1995. Crystal is notoriously difficult to photograph — fine surface scratches that are acceptable for age may not show clearly in images but are noted here.

A matching set of 8 salad/dessert plates in this pattern is also available in the shop.
