This is a Sowerby piece. In Carnival we call it English Hobstar. It is Sowerby's Boat, number 2480. Circa 1930s (possibly late 1920s too). The sides may be curved in or straight. It is often found in a chrome basket with leaves.

I think that one's not uranium, wrong shade of Sowerby green. These are quite common but I have yet to find a uranium one so the date of this one is probably 40/50s onward (its the design that's 20s/30s)
