Hat stand

[bluebird26]

Hi Peter,

I would like to know what do you think about this ceramic. is it hand painted and is it possible to guess the production time?
Thank you
Fred

Sorry for the poor picture quality

It has a spurious Qinlong mark, the stained areas look very suspicious " added to look older " the faces are outlined in black and they look modern, I would think early 20th century.

As Stan  already said, I would think only two or three decades old at the most.

BTW, hat stands did not come into existence before the 19th century, so those with a Qianlong mark are suspicious.

Thank you very much for your expertise!
Have a good day,
Fred
