It is Indiana Contemporary Carnival Glass, made circa the 1970s. It's fun and usable! Your piece is in Lime Green Carnival (I believe that the pattern was called "Vintage") and was meant for use as a salad bowl. I have a set of blue goblets made by Indiana that I use sometimes for wine (they hold rather a lot!).
