I've had some luck with fingernail polish and cotton. Try a very small spot forst. It's not as harsh as paint remover and sometimes works. Don't use scraper though. You could really ruin it.

Waywarddangler you are a wonder. That's exactly what they look like.
For two or three years everyone was wondering what these were.  I never thought about going on line until yesterday and here you are with the answer! I would never have thought about  a relish dish. Are the half moon incuts for resting the forks or tongs?
THANK YOU.. THank You ..thank you!!!
I hope I can be as helpful to someone else with a q.

Wow, I just asked a question for the first time and in reading this reply I feel like I shouldn't have asked my question.
I'm surprised someone didn't chastise me. I probably didn't give enough info either with my question. I'm so sorry if I wasted someones time.
I thought this would be more  friendly, didn't know there were clssifications like "newbie".
Thanks for the folks who took time to answer.

My first thought was a cracker tray or a corn holder, but it has square corners and narrows in the middle, neither would fit. Iv'e got Cambridge corn holders and the half moon dip is at the ends  where you would rest corn holders when you set your ear of corn down. Also the half moon dip in the center on both sides where it narrows has to have some use. Sorry I can't get a pix at this time.
Thanks for the interest.

No, sorry they are stored. I was asking someone about them today and just thought about getting on line to see if anyone had a clue.

I have 4 long low heavy rectangular cut glass pieces about 10-12 " long 3 1/2 deep and 3 " wide narrowing a bit in the middle.  There there is a half moon cut out on center of  each side . They have  handles at both ends.  What in the world are they used for??
