I picked this up in Marshalls several years ago. Apparently it was used to sell citrus fruit. The nubs on the bottom support a puck perfectly and on the side help with lather. It broke and I glued it together again. Has anybody seen anything like this? The underside has the name of a grove here in Florida and an 800 number, which corresponds to Hale Groves in Vero Beach, Florida.
What kind of bowl is this?

Nice looking bowl! Can't help with any identification suggestions.
You did a good job with that glue. And call that 80 number and send for a new bowl.
Great work!! Looks like a lather bowl to me! 
I'm not being sarcastic when I say I think that was designed to be a decorative fruit bowl. The raised areas allow for air to circulate around the fruit so it keeps longer.
Seems like a good shave bowl, also, though.

I will keep pursuing obtaining another one.
Probably for grapefruit.
Definitely a grapefruit bowl. Now you need to get a tub of TOBS Grapefruit.
I've seen a few of those in thrift shops in Georgia, Ohio, and South Carolina. No idea of its true purpose: probably grapefruit display.
Definitely call the number

I used to love going to Hale Groves for orange juice. People outside of middle Florida have no idea what orange juice is supposed to taste like. Yum.
yup... its a grapefruit bowl. bonus points if anyone has (or has ever seen) a grapefruit spoon!
It was a long time ago, small spoons with a serrated edge, meant to scoop out sections from a grapefruit half. Way too fiddly, I love grapefruit, but prefer to eat them like a gigantic orange.yup... its a grapefruit bowl. bonus points if anyone has (or has ever seen) a grapefruit spoon!
