Is there a particular name for the silver design on glass? I used to have a vase with a silver design on it but was stamped sterling and this has nothing. I don't know if this is even worth listing.

what a pretty dish. on the vase it would have been silver overlay but I am not sure if that would be what this is called.

Wow, I have that first one you linked, the one that didn't get bids. It is supposed to have a smaller dish that sets in the middle with same type overlay, like 'tiered' type setting.
I would think the green glass is more rare too

It looks more amber than green on my screen, though it does seem to have a greenish tint. It may be Viking Glass as they sold the blanks to Silver City Glass which decorated them with the silver overlay.
I usually get more locally for these pieces than I do on ebay. The red and cobalt colors are very pretty also.

Really a pretty piece and this olive green is a great colour now!!! BTW--did you know if you have any piece with this silver overlay and it is blackened--gentle use of silver polish or a silver polishing cloth will remove the tarnish, just like on a metal item. Just don't rub too hard and remove the silver!!
