I believe that you are referring to the 1876 Cape Cod Collection that Avon produced some years ago. This was a collection that consisted of wine goblets, mugs, dinner plates, dessert plates, candleholders, and other pieces. It was made of early American pressed glass also known as "Sandwich Glass." It was a ruby red color. I hope that this answers your question.

Is a fissure filled ruby real?
The rubies used to create fissure-filled stones are generally of very low quality. This kind of ruby is usually made more porous with an acid treatment. Then it is heated with other materials that make glass when the ruby gets hot enough. The glass fills in pits in the ruby. Therefore, parts of the stone are ruby, but parts are actually glass. Whether you consider this ruby "real" is up to you since parts are ruby, but depending on the size of the fissures that are filled, a significant part of the stone can be glass. The stones can be pretty, but glass does not have the same properties or hardness of a ruby.
