Can you share some information of the blue cloisonne on porcelain in the picture. If you need some picture of mine, I will send some picture to you.

I also agree with you that a lot of pieces out there are difficult to classify so are often undervalued. The flip side is a lot of overvaluing for the same reason. Here in Japan there is fierce competition for certain types of things. A good example is toys made during the occupation. I can pull up several pieces that are going for 300$ or so that I am sure can be bought for far cheaper in the U.S. Looking in a catalog for a recent auction there are three lots that fit right in your "smalls" idea. All three lots are for sets of either stone or glass bottles between 4-6 items in each lot. The sizes for all lots are similar at around 3-4 inches tall. The selling prices range from 300$-500$. I am going to an auction in Nara tomorrow. I will take some pictures of small items and make a note of what they go for. I agree there are a lot of undervalued pieces to be had.
