It looks very similar to the Maison Dorin cosmetic pot lids. A google search  
of the name will give you lots of photos of intact lids:

Dear Histarchers

I have an artifact that I could use some help identifying. It's a whiteware  
piece with black transferprinting found in Saginaw, Michigan near the part  
of the city originally platted ca. 1830. It's appears to be a disk, possibly  
a lid, or it's possibly the base for a piece of stemware/egg cup. The bottom  
or side without the transferprinting is less glazed, either by design or  
wear, and ever so slightly concave. The printing appears to be an address:  
"_____7 R. Gren  - Lazare PAR", which I take to be ___7 Rue  
Gren[oble?]-Lazare PARIS.

From an online search I've determined that Saint-Lazare Paris became a train  
station in 1837, and today it's also a shopping district.

Any thoughts on what this is or where I might look for more info would be  
most appreciated.
