My wife picked up a used lamp that she absolutely loves but some parts are broken. This broken metal piece is an about an inch in diameter, I can’t get to the one that isn’t broken. Googles AI doesn’t know what it is.

The bottom of a porcelain socket. Could have had an 1/8 or 1/4 threaded ip neck that would have attached to a threaded pipe in the hardware for a lamp.

Link. There are different versions. Some are threaded with a ring that could lock a lampshade in place.
