Width (handle to handle): 9.5 /  Diameter 7.25 / Height: 3.25  Silver overlay on a dish is a decorative technique where a layer of sterling silver is permanently bonded to a non-metallic surface, typically glass or porcelain. Using an electroplating process, silver is applied in intricate, often floral or geometric patterns onto the item, which is then fired to fuse the silver with the material.   This technique was highly popular in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, with companies like Gorham producing extensively on glass and porcelain.  These items are primarily decorative or used for serving dry foods, such as candy or cookies.
