    I have writtened down that this item is a white milk glass relish dish with grape and grape vines. It looks more like a coffee cup than a relish dish for one thing. I would like to request some help with the company and pattern and what this object would be used for. Dimensions are around 4 1/2" top dia. x 2 1/2" bottom dia. x 2 1/8" tall. Thank you. Rob

    Couldn't drink coffee out of it without creating a 'hot mess'.

    I found this explanation here.

    Nappy

    Nappy, in antique glassware terms, references a shallow open serving dish with no rim and a flat bottom. In most instances, it defines a small bowl, with or without one or two handles. This term is commonly used to identify small bowls when referring to Depression glass and antique china.

    Nappies are many times round but can be a leaf- or heart-shaped as well, and formed of many different types of glass and ceramic materials. The term is likely derived from the obsolete word “nap” which referenced a drinking cup or bowl in Middle English.
