One thing to watch with the "obviously Chinese" pieces is that there was a huge fashion for Chinese styled items in Europe in the 1800's (possibly earlier as well). My own family has a Chinese dragon mirror that I eventually traced to France, though it's journey to New Zealand may have been via Colonial India!
