Hello, all !
I picked this item up in a box lot over the weekend, and have been unable to locate manufacturer or pattern information in my research....hoping for your help!
It measures 9.5" L x 4.5" W x 1.5" H
Clear glass without any identifiable mold lines, but appears to be a pressed glass item
Pattern is impressed in exterior of side and base, with smooth interior
Based upon the age of the other glass items in the lot I believe this is likely a vintage item, tho its true age is unknown.
The pattern in the base seems, perhaps, to be wheat.
I have included pics from interior, side, and bottom.
Thanks in advance for your assistance!

I was able to narrow down possible age, assuming the card you can see in the first photos is correct, as the woman who owned it (Ada Ovella (Hackler) Funk) lived 1898-1973 in Virginia.
Assuming that the pickle/relish dish was obtained by Mrs. Funk when it was new, then one might expect it was manufactured somewhere between, perhaps, the teens and the 1960's.....
(There was another little handwritten note in a Jeannette 'National' water pitcher (mfg circa ~1947-1972) that was in the same box lot which stated it belonged to Mrs. Funk, as well:
"Johnny's great aunt Ada Funk's pitcher. She was Granny Boone's sister.")
