This little bowl or dish is probably pressed glass. i have seen them described elsewhere as Cape Cod Crystal. It is for desserts, like puddings, gelatins, custard or ice cream, but certainly anything that fits would taste wonderfully. I don't know much about glass but it is lovely and my mother collected them. I only have one. It has a square foot or base. It is heavy, which made me believe it wasn't crystal. I tried to take good photos to help a potential buyer understand what we are sellng. It measures about 4 inches tall. The bowl is about 3 1/2 inches in diameter and the base is about 2 5/8 inches.
