[QUOTE="clutteredcloset49, post: 182435, member: 85"]Silver overlay and silver deposit are two different types of processes. This decanter is an example of silver overlay. It is a thin sheet of silver that has been applied over the glass. In this case the silver has also been chased or engraved. That is what Gorham did. Silver deposit is a process of electroplating applied to the glass. It is thin and can eventually be polished off the glass.[/QUOTE]
