    I think they might be coasters at 6" diameter.
    The are very heavy. The mark looks to me like a crown over a shield with some kind of symbol inside it. the letters look like conjoined A and H? I thought it interesting that the touch marks are on the top rather than on the bottom?

    Ones being sold or listed for sale with this mark are saying Hasselstrom. But no age references?
    Also the pics dont show but I have 6 of these.

    They say 19th century in the listings that do mention age, which doesn't surprise me given most of the pictures they show and the fact that there is no listing for him on Pat's archived site. (RIP) Not to say that he had everything of course.

    Did you see that the shield is supposed to have a footed teapot under the crown?

    I would think these were side plates for bread and such rather than coasters,

    Yes I figured that out. You can see the teapot in my second closeup. I thought they had a deeper well than a plate would. You can't see from the pics but these are about 1" deep. Could be small plates.

    I like the rim's of these. Would you call it piecrust? Scalloped?, crimped?

    19th Century Danish individual pie plates.

    A bit to the northeast to me, I am in the Netherlands. But we have related cultures, and we have those rose petal pewter plates as well.
    I would think they were children's plates, for porridge.
