Sounds like a perfectly reasonable venture to have made. I do this too, now & then. Sometimes I'm right, & the piece is better than represented,...
Of the 4, it is really only that one that rings Utamaro bells for me.
Welcome. Now you have to introduce your avatar. :happy:
Now, if you were to fall for this one, that would be a mistake. Described as porcelain in base metal, having had 5% knocked off, it is now only...

I didn't mean they necessarily make them, only that they are often used on NA pieces. I have a couple of lovely stone carvings of lizards on...
Oh, the several Tiffany pieces I could have had for not very much, if only I'd known. I do now, but of course their like has not come along again.
