Hi i am not sure of the use as the bowl is quite shallow and the handle makes me think it may be for carrying a candle but it glows but i have no tester yet,is it British ?i have looked at all usual places so i would appreciate any help.Bowl 5" wide and the depth is 1 1/2" it has 4 feet ...Lynn

This is almost certainly uranium glass (but can't be confirmed without a UV light). I think you have a custard dish. I've found this design in dessert bowls (without feet) and sugar bowls (and possibly other items). My chief suspect would be a Czech company but I've never gone out of my way to look for a manufacturer.

Hi Lynn,

This looks to be American (depression ware) vaseline glass. If you are patient, try to find the pattern on ebay. You will see thousands of depression era vaseline bowls there. I would use it for dipping sauce or salsa.

I don't think it's American

No, I'm certain it's not American, and I'm absolutely certain I've seen it somewhere in the catalogue of one of the Sklo Union factories, just can't remember which.
