I do apologize, there really is no green hue, it's just my phone camera and the lighting.  The only colors present are red, yellow, and the slivers of white.

I still think it's possibly uranium glass though.

You'd need a small uv blacklight to check in the dark but I suspect the cream might glow bright green.

thanks for the explanation :)        I agree with you that when in doubt, buy ......... nothing worse that inconsolable regret for things we didn't do - I've been there ............  that's of course assuming the price isn't through the roof. ;D
To be accurate regarding the possibility of u. you would need a u.v torch  -  without it we can sometimes pass over a piece  -  especially opaque type glass like this  -  and not realize it's there -     Sowerby's Patent Queen's Ivory Ware is a good example of that pitfall.   

Age can be deceptive in appearance on glass  -  utility wares will usually show more than a decorative item that may have sat in someone's display cabinet for many decades.     Regret I'm fresh out of suggestions, so will leave to others to try and help  -  very best of luck, and thanks for posting.

The description of the outside being not entirely smooth suggests acid satination if not full acid cut aways.
I agree, it looks as if it should contain uranium.
What a glorious find from a Goodwill.  ;D

Earth without art is just eh.
