Bronze, Gold, Shakudo Hen – Maruki Company – Japan – Meiji period (1868-1912) – Catawiki auction. Is this item authentic?

Hi, everybody!

I came across this bronze hen (Maruki company, Japan, Meiji period) on catawiki auction website. As far as I can tell, everything looks fine. Nevertheless, it would be great if I could get a second opinion. Is this item authentic? – https://www.catawiki.com/l/33889339-okimono-1-bronze-gold-shakudo-animal-bird-meiji-bronze-okimono-einer-henne-maruki-company-japan-meiji-period-1868-1912
How much would be reasonable to bid on it?
Thanks!!!

      Hi, Amber!
      It’s a really beautiful, top quality item from Meiji period. No doubt, it’s authentic. I think, the expert’s estimate is a bit high. Personally I wouldn’t bid more than 1500 on it.
