because I suck at pictures, and because this is glass it is hard to get one without glare.

What do you think this bowl? was used for and its approx age?

Morning Sugarcube !!  How deep and how big across is it !!
Chip & dip sets were popular mid century and that's what it looks like to me,, 60`s era amber glass !!

Could you take another picture on a white background like a shirt or a sheet?

Vaseline glass is more often green!

There is Vaseline glass, which is when the color under normal light looks like Vaseline Petroleum Jelly. Then there is Uranium glass, which has a deeper, more emerald green look. Both will glow under black light due to the uranium content in the color mixture of the glass.

The first and last pics are of a uranium glass juicer. The second and third are of a Northwood Fluted Swirls Vaseline glass three footed dish.

Sugar,

No. The juicer, depending on condition, runs below $40. I found it earlier this year on Ebay when it sold for $18.50 to $22.50.

The Northwood AKA “Jackson” was first advertised by Northwood in 1898, this vaseline bowl was made of uranium glass, producing a yellow opalescence that glows green under UV light.
The bowl is 8" across at its widest point, and stands 3 1/2" high. This scarce handgrip shape is also known as a card receiver from Victorian times. As of June this year, I found it selling on Ebay for $80.00.
