With the lid I would think it was one of the first over the counter deodorants called MUM. It came in a small jar like that and was about the consistency of a thick paste. Monty

Kinda looks like the decorative cover to hide the ends of the T-bolts that hold a toilet to the floor.

Sorry...my GrandMum used that stuff...really! if the dish is shallow it could even be one of those wet your stamp things you see in an office or post office etc...it had a wet sponge in it...

Could be what was called a butter pat. Small dish used to place slice of butter on. Used at resturants in the 1930-50 time period.
