Chinese Mystery...

Any help or advice welcome?

 

Well, considering it says “Foreign” on the bottom it could be from the 1950s when imports from Germany, Japan, and I think in this case, China, were marked Foreign rather than the country of origin due to residual bad feelings from WW2.

 

Thanks, I’ll keep looking

 

I think it’s a hat stand. Did you look here?

umbrella stand........or vase....not knowing the size , of course...

 

I'd go with a mid 20th century mass produced Japanese version of chinese famille noir porcelain, a bit sloppily done, and modeled after a hat stand, not sure if meant to be one.
