Vintage 1985 Avon 9 Piece German Made Hummingbird Crystal Set - Hand Cut 24% Full Lead Crystal is both clear and frosted with intricate details. All 9 pieces are either in new or excellent, unused condition.
Set consists of:
3 long stemmed clear and frosted crystal water/wine glasses; all with original stickers attached
1 silver-rimmed compote with lid (2 piece item)
1 hanging sun catcher/ornament signed 1986
1 hurricane globe on a crystal, long-stemmed crystal stand (2 piece item); stand is a signed Lenox tea light
1 16/10 stainless steel and porcelain serrated cake knife
This is a beautiful set that has pieces uncommon to others found for this collection. I am not 100% certain that the compote and the lid are the original set, but this is how I've always had them and they look beautiful together - especially with the delicate silver trim of the top and bottom rim of the compote. The matching cake knife is a gorgeous blue and white porcelain with roses and hummingbirds; an especially hard piece to find. The hurricane is pictured both alone as well as atop a stand that is actually a signed Lenox tea light. If you are not interested in the stand, please let me know and I will adjust the price accordingly. It does look beautiful with a lit tea light!

Glasses - 8" tall, 3" mouth diameter, 4" bell depth, 3" base diameter

These pieces are all in either new or like new condition; their only use has been to be on display behind the glass of my curio cabinet. As you can see from the pictures you will not be disappointed. These are all also very high quality, heavy glass that will certainly last a lifetime!
Thank you for looking and please do not hesitate to reach out with any additional questions you may have!
