This looks like a "hair jar" My Grandmother had on on her dresser. Her fell to her waist, but it was always in a bun during the day. She would brush her hair every morning & put the loose hair in the jar.

I agree with sanmar that it may be a hair jar. In that case, it may be missing a lid. The one I have had a lid with a good-sized hold in it for tucking the hair down into the jar. Maybe not all "hair receivers," as they're called, had a lid. . . .

Perhaps it is a top to a another object?
Flip it over. The top is rounded from the view of the picture. Is it flat?

The opening seems too wide for a salt shaker. I think toothpick, too. Blue milk glass, Victorian toothpick holder. It's very pretty - should do well. Put it in the EAPG section (Early American Pressed Glass).
