I am no expert - hopefully, one will pop up soon, but if it says 'sterling, ’ it is sterling silver.
The shamrock points towards Irish silver.
And the Irish are very good at fine glass. So search for that, too.
It’s beautiful, and it’s the real deal.

Howard Sterling Co of Providence RI. See American sterling silver marks: marks and hallmarks of US makers: Hi-Hz. 565 is probably a model number and the other mark is one added by (probably) an owner as an inventory mark.
