Dear Beth,
Thank you for contacting Mearto with your appraisal inquiry.
I wanted to get back to you on this; without dimensions I am flying a bit blind but it looks as though this is approximately 12 inches long and 8 inches wide, with a height of 4 or 5 inches? I've used those dimensions to value yours but if I am very far off, please let me know what the accurate dimensions are and I will see if my valuation needs to be changed.
Imperial milk glass is selling at very low values these days. I can find no comparable examples selling within the past 3-5 years for more than $100 and in most case, below $50. The following auction sales have been consulted in researching the fair market value of your open bowl:
