Hat stand. Republic?

[Claudio]

I'm a little doubtful also about this hat stand, Peter. H cm. 28. Thank you for your help.

Bottom.

Probably about 1930s or 40s, I think.

Thank you Peter, I'm beginning to understand the differences...

if you look at a book Dating Chinese Porcelain from Facial Features and Adornments . They categorized this type of old man as from been from the 1912's ( i'm guessing early republic.) Lucky for your if you look for it on eBay, the sample page they have in there is the same page you want to look for.  Republic period drawings they all look the same with very minor variations.
