That is a fuse socket Insulator, the fuse goes into it't bottom, a steel ring holdes all of the Insulator at the middle. In Poland are similar fuse Insulators.

Finland and Estonia is close to each other. The first is the historical background: The XXth century is was very happeningful in Europe, wars, borders changing, stealing, communism etc. There was a time when Finland was under Russian occupation, Estonia was part of Russia anfter the USSR. You can imagine the easy logistic and the stealing from the Finnish factories. For example in Hungary at the 50s the age of the Stalinism the Zsolnay Porcelain Factory of Pecs manufactured the tons of the Insulators under Russian soliders, the 90% of the Insulators went to trains and to Russia. For free.. After the WW2 Russia pillaged all of the Eastern Block and built in it's own area like Estonia. More into in the Finnish and Estonian history (wikipedia) Stalin have been a huge mass murder and mass thief!!

In Europe are very mixed the origins of the Insulators in different countries: See Southern Poland, that was Russia, Germany and Austria, that is a very good Gold-Mine by Insulators. I read in our history, here was long action by "Help you the Korean people's revolution!" at the 50s, 60s, we had to give products (grain, livestock etc) for North Korea and we had to buy their products, because of it I can find North Korean origin Insulators here.

About this Insulator I can view you a Polish example on the pictures. I use it for bulb socket, for lamp. This Insulator is near-common in Poland. It has two wire groove for the two dead-end ties (or for one normal and one dead-end tie) on top, at the middle is the holding, the bottom is the Edison-screw fuse part. I think, that Estonian piece's bottom is missing.
