It is an insert to hold butter or some other food above a chamber filled
with ice.
I've seen em utilitarian like these, and fancier - of porcelain, for
instance.

Subject: Ceramic Artifact ID?
Hello All,
I've found a few examples of a ceramic artifact type in the collection of a
California historic house museum, and I can't figure out what they are.
The objects are circular white earthenware discs, glazed and undecorated,
between 6" and 8" in diameter, with what appears to be a footring, and with
a single approximately 1/2" hole in the center of each. The hole was cut
before glazing.
A picture can be viewed here:
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/13574856/Ceramic_Artifact.jpg (this
photo is of two of the objects stacked on top of one another).
I'd appreciate the input of anyone knows this artifact.
Thanks,
Stacy Kozakavich
