    Picked this up at my favorite thrift and was hoping to get some information if possible.
    It is heavy for its size 5 1/2" diameter and 4" tall
    Only the one mark on the bottom. Any and all help and comments appreciated.

    Sweet. Looks like a little decorative dish. I'd think anytime from 1970s onward. (Like Spain, Portugal didn't have a middle class until then.)

    You think that newish? Well that would make it about 50 +. I was thinking earlier though. Thanks Debora.

    Yep. The design is traditional though.

    Btw, 'estanho' means tin. So it says tin of 95% purity.

    Any idea what it was used for. Google search doesn't come up with any match.

    I picked up a small sugar and creamer set in Portugal some years ago and I think it might be a sugar bowl.

    Thanks to all of you Ladies!
    Missplaced it for a few days, but found it. Trinket dish or sugar bowl sounds good.
