VTG “Springtime” Silver City Glass Co. Silver Overlay Plate, Unique Honeybee For Sale

The presence of a bee hidden in the design is the \"Springtime\" pattern produced by the Silver City Glass Company. Silver City Glass Co. (based in Meriden, Connecticut) was famous for its high-quality sterling silver deposit work on elegant glass. While many vintage overlay companies made generic, anonymous floral arrangements, Silver City specifically designed the \"Springtime\" pattern to feature a charming little honeybee tucked near the blossoms. The Era: This specific pattern was manufactured around the 1930s to 1950s. It was designed during the peak era of American elegant glass. Why it\'s unmarked: It is completely normal that you cannot find a mark. Silver City often relied on temporary foil paper labels affixed to the glass when sold new, which quickly washed away with the first use.Excellent vintage condition without chips or cracks (see photos)
