This sounds like a doily to me. They only come out on high days and
holidays, and are used at tea time, in my family, to go on a plate under
cakes. The best ones are crocheted or lace trimmed, but it is possible to
get paper ones as well.

In Denmark, when you set a nice table with more than one course, you first
put down the dinner plate then this "napkin"? and then the soupbowl or the
appetizer plate. The napkin? is often crotcheted, tatted, needlelace or
bobbinlace, not so popular anymore, but the original use was to avoid the
plates scrambling on each other and prevent chips and scratches. Hope that
is clear as mud ;-) The thing can be circular or square and is usually about
4-5 inches in diameter/side.
