Etched Finger Bowl

Description

I have had this little bowl for many years and have tried to identify it repeatedly, with no success. It is about 4-1/2" in diameter and 2-1/2" deep and I am thinking it might be a finger bowl. It is very thin, delicate glass and the top 1-1/2" band is etched and painted with gold. The bottom section is vertically panelled with gold dots between the panels. The bottom is ground and polished.
