My vote is a Tea Cup Saucer

Good luck

At that size I'd guess a butter pat or condiment plate... most common in the late Victorian era. I'd be surprised if there were no makers marks on the back?

kinda looks like the center of a victorian era door knob

I'll try to inject some more info here. It's fairly flat and no marks where it could of attached to something else.
Take a look at the O O O logo ,blow up the large pic and look.is this some sort icon of a fraternal organization or ?. First thought was a IOOF logo of some sort. A condiment tray or saucer, it could be. This was found today in an 1870's mining town here where I live in Rosita, CO. Was about 6" deep in the county road. They're no makers marks that I can see just the OOO in two places

3 inch diameter is a tiny little plate!


If it isn't a saucer from a fancy child's tea set, I'm guessing it is a tray for a glass salt cellar - turn of the 20th C.



This one is 3 3/4 by 2 1/2 inches.
