Dear Joan,
Thank you for your pictures. It makes me happy that you think that these little shoes are pretty!
I believe this object was made of German porcelain. I can't find the mark right now, but a lot of these type of objects were made in Germany around 1900. I think the ring suggests this is a small candle holder. I hope this helps!

Thank you so much for responding! Yes, it does help. I am hoping that the fact this is likely a candleholder will help me to identify it further. I have inherited a collection of shoes and have discovered that one was probably a pipe holder, another a match holder and another a perfume bottle. Really appreciate your help!
