I got this at a thrift shop and I'd just like to know more about it.
I've been collecting different color glass to decorate with, and I'm just curious. :) I can post more pics if needed.

This pattern was originally made by Duncan and Miller beginning in the 1920s. It is their "Early American Sandwich" design.
The piece you have is a candy jar.
The moulds for this were sold to the United States Glass Company's Tiffin glass works when D&M closed in 1955.
Duncan and Miller did produce this pattern in green. Some pieces made at Tiffin were done in a Chartreuse color. Indiana Glass company also made this pattern in a bright green color in the 1970s.
Pieces were also made by Lancaster Colony recently, but I'm not sure if they produced it in green.
I cannot tell without handling it which color it is. Just by the photo, it doesn't look to be Duncan's green, which was a light to medium shade of green, not too bright. But it's difficult to tell in a photo since the color would distinguish the factory in this case.
'Sandwich' was produced in various colors by Indiana Glass under their Tiara line. This color looks like what Replacements has noted as pine green.
The Indiana site has many of the colors noted with YOP:
