Any clue what this is?

Found this on our farm which was built in the mid 1800's and nobody lived there after the 40's until we bought it in 99 so this has to be old but i have no clue if it's from a toy or what? any ideas would be appreciated, thanks!

I can only guess it may be a miniature trumpet vase for an antique dollhouse decor. Dollhouses were a popular thing for little girls and still were when my sister got a then made of printed sheet metal one for Christmas in the early 1960s. Up into the 1940s they made some pretty elaborate dollhouse setups and offered all kinds of miniature accessories to add realism to them. I found a little tiny bisque teacup out in the field, that I'm thinking was part of popular toy for girls back then in the early 20th century.

Exactly what it is a pewter toy vase.

Chess piece is what my initial thought was when I first laid eyes on it.
