<p>[QUOTE=&quot;hamptonauction, post: 155900, member: 62&quot;]The silver overlay was most likely applied at Silver City Glass.</p><p>Also from Meriden, Connecticut, they did most of the silver on Caprice and Cascade pieces, and the silver is beautiful, but not the quality of Rockwell. Silver City did their decorating up until the mid-1950&#039;s, when most of the other silver companies had disappeared. They stayed in business because no other US companies were still doing overlay. Their pieces almost always said &quot;Sterling&quot; in the silver.</p><p><br /></p><p>Silver City Patterns:</p><p><br /></p><ul> <li>All of the &quot;Anniversary&quot; pieces of Caprice</li> <li>Partially Satinized Poppies – using a combo of sterling with etching and cutting on ball jugs where the flowers are outlined in silver.</li> <li>Lily of the Valley - pattern on Caprice.</li> <li>A variety of &quot;Fruit&quot; patterns.</li> <li>A variety of &quot;Floral&quot; designs on many Caprice baskets and bowls, (these floral designs included: Daffodil, Daisy, Flanders, California Poppy, Forest, Princess Rose, Queen Rose, Fern, Springtime, Chrysanthemum, Silver Leaves, Scroll and Swag, and Vintage.</li> </ul><p>Ref.&nbsp; <a href="http://www.cambridgeglass.org/articles/0508/07crystalball409a.php" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.cambridgeglass.org/articles/0508/07crystalball409a.php" rel="nofollow">http://www.cambridgeglass.org/articles/0508/07crystalball409a.php</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
