Vintage Silver Overlay Glass Bowl Early 20Th Century

Silver overlay glass pieces became popular during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, particularly during the Art Nouveau and Art Deco periods. This technique involves applying a thin layer of silver to a glass object, often with intricate designs. These pieces were often used as decorative items, such as bowls, vases, and dishes. Silver City Glass Company, based in Meriden, Connecticut, was one of the prominent manufacturers of silver overlay glass. Their designs often featured floral motifs, geometric patterns, and other decorative elements. These items were popular for their aesthetic appeal and the combination of glass and precious metal.
