I bought what I thought were condiment dishes. Last year, on ebay, I saw the same dishes on refrigerator dishes as lids. I listed them as lids to refrigerator dishes but now I am having my doubts.
Any glass experts out there that can help me? If these are lids what is the make and model. If not lids...what are they?!! Any help really appreciated! Sorry, I don't know how to post pics, just url.

It sure looks like the lid to a Casserole refridgerator type dish to me....but....of course.....you also could put candy in it too....I'd take a piece of chocolate off it and I'm sure it would fit nicely over a dish as a lid.....Is it "potato" or potatoe'...?...

That's just what I was going to say...I have a lidless blue pyrex refrigerator dish that looks just the right size! The lids I've seen for these dishes seem to be more shallow, with less of a side slope-- though it's tough to say from a picture.

Thanks for the responses. I thought it may be a butter dish (missing the lid) but the bottom is not flat like the other butter dishes I have seen, the sides slope inward. I guess it could fit a long butter stick.
From the size I figure it would fit a dish with an opening of 4 1/2" x 8 1/4". If this is a lid, the 'ridge' design would be on the outside. Other refrigerator dishes I have have the design on the inside (so you feel the 'grooves' on the inside).
Someone emailed me, 'question to seller', and stated how they doubted it was a lid. I am tempted to close the auctions but first I was hoping to get some input as to what they could be and perhaps change the catagory/descript.

This looks like the bottom of a butter dish to me also. I am pretty sure I have it in one of my books--if I have time to find it I will let you know.
