1981 Avon Mothers Day Plate
. It is approximately 5″ in diameter.
2. Why did Avon make a larger plate in 1995?
A. Our best guess is that Avon was thinking of going to a larger plate in 1995 ongoing, but that the response from customers was that they wanted one consistent size plate since they are generally displayed all together. Whatever the reason, the 1995 plate was the only large plate sold.
3. Which plates do not have the year on the front?
A. The
1985
and 1986 plates
The 2002 Mother’s day plate 2002 Avon Mothers Day Plate-Cherished Teddies
4. Did Avon make a 2008 Mother’s day plate?
A. Yes, however it is very rare, they did not put it in their catalogs, and to the best of our knowledge it was very limited and many reps were not able to get them at all. We do have a photo, and we expect they will eventually re-appear in the secondary market .

I am looking for a 2008 Avon Mother's day plate in the "caucasion" version. I located one but it was sold before I could buy it!
The 2008 and 2009 plates were very limited, I suspect it will be quite a while before many re-appear in the secondary market. You might find it at Ebay (sponsored link)
