From my research this is the Cameo pattern made from 1930-34. There is another design with a dancer in the centre called Cameo Ballerina. It has an overall diameter of 7 1/4" and is called a Domino Tray, designed to hold a creamer in the centre with sugar lumps round the outside. The original pattern was Springtime by Monongah glass, Anchor hocking bought them out. There is quite a lot of this pattern around but I've not found another of these trays.

Fairly scarce according to the depression glass books with price guides, but better in pink without an indentation

I have both Warman's and Florence books.

This is the design that often called Cameo Ballerina. The other similar designs are Georgian Lovebirds and Rose Cameo; neither are common here

I've had another look on replacements.com and the full design has three elements, the inner circular design, a middle ring of swags and an outer ring with the dancer, my dish only has the two inner elements. Confusingly they also have a 6" plate with just the inner and outer elements. ???

The only on "plate-like" things that have the outer pattern have flat rims. There are variants depending on the item. Large bowls have the outer and centre patterns. None actually have a ballerina, just a ballerina like pattern. It's not uncommon to have these pattern mixes.
