Description
We discovered this bowl packed away in my mothers basement and nobody can figure out what it might be.
It is heavy and has a rounded raised center when placed with the large side up. When you flip it over the item almost looks like a dog bowl where you could put water or something into the concave surface.
We can't figure out what it may have been used for and whether it might have any value. If anyone could help identify this and shed some light we'd be most appreciative!
Thanks,
Schnaps

Re: Blue Glass Mystery Bowl
It is depression glass, I found this w/ a web search, which answers your question of the use and function. It's called a console bowl: http://www.askpedia.com/q/BCFA/what_is_a_depression_era_console_bowl
