The trim appears to be applied silver as it’s tarnished and cleans up well with silver cleaner. The silver that goes around the top has a seam that can be seen with a loop
Here are the links to the pics.

These are what are known as Silver Overlay. It appears that the glass may be Cranberry. Did you use a flash for the photos? I have a few pieces of Cranberry glass and they are a bit darker but still in the same tone.
Here was a great blog article I found that explains silver overlay and how it was made

Be careful polishing the silver too much because it is a very, very thin layer that can be polished off very easily. Once you’ve polished it I would wrap the entire glass in saran wrap and then place in a plastic bag and seal it to keep the air from it and hopefully prevent re-tarnishing.
I’m not very good at identifying glass patterns or makers so I really hope that someone can come along and give you an answer on that.
Do you just have the one of each size or do you have multiples?

Hi Lynn,
I have determined (via help from EuropeanGoodies) that the glass is ruby overlay. And yes, I can tell that the silver is very thin. I think we have gotten some good info on them. But, it would be great if we had a pattern name and maybe a maker.
I have 4 of each size for a total of 16 pieces.
