[QUOTE="msgood2shoe, post: 236851, member: 69"]The green and yellow pieces are NOT from the "crest" line, the crest line has an applied clear or colored edge. Silvercrest is used for the pieces with clear edges on milkglass. The different colored edge on the green and yellow pieces are achieved by reheating the glass.
