This wonderful McKee jadeite uranium refrigerator dish or canister was most likely produced in the 1930s (see attribution note below). It measures approx 5" wide by 3-3/8" tall with slightly tapered sides. It no longer has a lid. The base is marked with "McK" (McKee) inside a small circle. Attribute Note - McKee started making jadeite tableware in 1930. It's most likely that this piece was produced before 1939 when uranium usage was halted due to WWII. McKee became a part of the Jeanette Glass Company in 1951.
Condition - very good condition with no chips or cracks. It exhibits minor glassmaking flaws including slightly darker swirls/marks inside the bowl (pic #6), and several straw marks (pics #7 and 8).
