What is this ceramic object? Found while hiking near Hakone

First time posting, but I’m pretty sure this question has never come up before!

I found this little ceramic boot-shaped item while hiking near Hakone. It was in the dirt in an area that also had shards of glass, other broken bits of ceramics and bricks, so definitely not put there purposefully or anything like that. I cleaned it up but am very puzzled – what could it be?
