A $2 thrift shop find today. It is 10" in diameter and about 4.5" high. I find many of these on ebay in many colors and styles, but with the same handle, most with no maker identified and age ranging from depression era to 1950s, though a couple claim the maker is either Tiffin or McKee. It was still a bit wet from washing and a couple of things that look like imperfections are from water streaking. It is mint. I wonder how they made this glass so impervious to thrift shop TLC? Satin have never been my favorite glass finish, but it is growing on my with these recent green pieces.
there are many variation on the handles for these center handled servers (CHS), where the details of the handle can be the determining factor. This appears to be Westmoreland; tho' New Martinsville and Fenton also used this handle. Here's examples to compare:

you can search 'CHS' at the site to see others...
Thanks, TallCakes! I knew I was in trouble on this one!
Thanks for loving my glass tray!
