Christmas Memories
The AVON Christmas Memories series began with the 1981 season and went for four years until 1984.
The plates are 9 1/4" in diameter, supported by a foam base and slip cover and come in a dark green box approximately 10 1/2" square. The boxes bear the year and title of the plate on the cover and flaps. All of the plates in this series have a tiny oval sticker that says:
