Silver overlay Tea Room glass

My husband likes to give me eBay gift cards as gifts, and goodness knows I like for him to! It's always more fun spending OPM (other people's money), yet I wanted to find just the right thing. I held on to this year's Valentine's eBay gift card for nearly three months and am mighty glad I waited, for I found some wonderful Depression glass in the Tea Room pattern which featured silver overlay designs! I've collected a few pieces of silver overlay over the years, but I've never seen any on Tea Room glass before. Fun!

The silver was almost black when the pieces arrived, but I knew from experience they could be polished.

The silver is now sooooo polished, it almost looks white!

As a collector of this glass, I must say I'm thrilled with this year's Valentine's gift from my husband, and it was fun to find some unusual Tea Room pieces I never even knew existed before!

    Oh Angela, what a treasure! You've enlightened me about silver overlay on Depression Glass. I've never seen it before. I'll be keeping my eyes open now!

    How beautiful, Angela and so thoughtful of your husband. You have such a good 'Treasure Hunters' eye, a gift card in your hands is a good move! This makes Valentine's Day even more special and memorable,
