I know it's a serving dish but to serve what?

First i thought it was a chicken brick, now it looks like one of those things that old aunties used to store their eggs in.

Yes normally you see these made out of cermaic/porcelain, in that case they are casserole/roasting dishes.
The glass/perspex type ones are ordinary serving dishes. They do not have to hold anything specific. I think you can get pyrex versions too.
When I worked part-time for Royal Doulton/Wedgewood, we use to sell these.
Are you looking to buy one?

You can use it to put your rotian/Chapatian in it. In USA they sell them at Mexican stores as Tortilla (spelled as tortia) Server. Tortilla is Mexican Chapatian.

We used to have one of these at home when I was younger - we used to store eggs in them on some shredded tissue paper stuff that you can get..............

OMG! I have one of these lol! Mine is white milk glass, it was my mother's when she was a newlywed and she gave it to me for my kitchen. Initially, they were used for casseroles and side dishes but these days, they are really just used as decoration and display.
They are covered casserole dishes...for more on the history etc see here
