It looks somewhat like a lock washer, Spence.

Good guess @hon, but sorry it isn't a lock washer. I'll wait another day or two (or guess or two, whichever comes first before the reveal). One hint: it looks cast to me.

Is that a casting channel?
(No idea what it's for though)

No, I don't think it is a casting channel, but for sure there was something in there when this was in use.
New hint: the overall size of this piece is pretty big though: 16 mm thick and about 77 mm in diameter.

Very interesting, Spence! Thank you for the link. I have an antique floor lamp with Tiffany-style stained glass shade that would greatly benefit from one of those weights. I got it cheap as it's screwed to a piece of wood on casters and too top-heavy to stand safely on its own.
