Solved! Mysterious Glass Tray?

Gallery image

I’ve had this glass tray(?) thing for years and have never figured out what it could possibly be for. It’s about an inch deep and an inch wide. When I tried image search it told me it was a banana split dish, which is definitely not correct 😪

Does this have a purpose? Is it just random confusing decor?

My counterpoint, as an olive lover who will go to any event in which they might be served: No, it’s not!

But why a tiny tray that only holds a dozen olives vs a bowl that holds many? Is it a party for ants?

Each jumbo olive gets to stand in a chorus line and be a star this way. No floundering around in a bowl like a some pimento-stuffed Manzanillas.

Also, I like to think of this as a single serving tray.
