My grandmother gave me this unusual lime-green plate/cover with no history or background. There are no marks or signatures. There is a raised "bubble" pattern that makes this piece one of my favorites when guests lift the cover to grab a piece of cheese. It's approximately 7" diameter, 5" tall. It's the most beautiful color when a blacklight is used!

I would recommend using pics from different angles and possibly a black background.(a black shirt could be used, doesnt need to be fancy :) ) Also try to include a picture of the base too when possible.
Do you know if the piece is vaseline glass? (does it glow under blacklight)
The top of your piece looks very similar(maybe identical) to these pieces below, but the plate is different. I'm not 100% sure what your piece is but this seems like a good place to start.

I updated the photos. Thanks for your links. They are very similar and I do believe you hit the nail on the head with the Hobbs.
That's a hot one with glowing so brightly! Geiger counter would go crazy on it.
