In the 1800s, beds were warmed at night by brass bedwarmers - round brass pans in which hot coal was placed and contained holes to allow heat to escape. Each bed typically had three warmers - one by the feet, one mid-bed, and another smaller one by the pillow. Each warmer had a larger hole that a handle went into and smaller holes for the heat to escape.
This item is missing the handle and was likely used as a pillow or a smaller warmer in a bassinet.
