Video of one of the works:

Auction houses have always sold and will continue to sell fakes. Sometimes it's due to the incompetence of the auction house staff, but often they know exactly what they're doing — they just pretend otherwise.
-
Yes, it's casting. And of poor quality.
-
I've seen examples of Ford Hallam's work more than once, and it's amazing. Can anyone show examples of works of the same level from modern masters?
-
Absolutely everything is copied... When I was looking for information about my Soten tsuba, I found a similar creation)
-
Noda Masaaki (1784-1821), late edo. I agree, the works come from different schools, but the main theme is common and quite interesting.

And one beautiful piece of work Noda Masaaki. https://art.thewalters.org/object/51.1070/

Could it be seaweed harvesting? Or fishing boat on moonlit…
-
Yes, it's really interesting. Maybe it's the wreckage of a boat near the shore... It would be nice to find a photo illustration of this scene. Yes, it is. Maybe from the same school, maybe there was a very popular sketch.

I'll add my set. The work isn't difficult, but the patina color palette was too tempting to resist)
-
A normal medium-quality tsuba. The sekigane also looks fine, and nanako fits neatly against the inlay.
-
This is indicated in the catalog. The New Year's theme is appropriate. Since there are so many examples of Unno School’s work in this topic, I will add the work of the legend) Unno Shomin

Moritoshi was a follower/student of Yoshimori, which can be seen both in the level of workmanship and the similarity in the mei. Moreover, I took the liberty of doing a light cleaning with isopropyl alcohol to remove dust and light dirt. As a result, all the fine details became visible — details that, in my opinion, would be impossible for a craftsman of a lower level. I'll take new photos and videos a bit later — I think many people will be interested in examining the details.
-
I will add another work by Unno school. Unno Moritoshi 海野盛壽 (1834-1896), signed «Kiryû Moritoshi» 起龍盛壽 Curiously, this element in kao is very similar in spelling.
-
I think mei is correct. If we compare with the F/K set from the example above, the mei is different, but I think this is due to the fact that the work was done at different times, the mei could have changed a little.

Hello, Jake! Naonobu was a disciple of Yoshinao OGURI (Naozuke HAMANO) and lived in Takada in Kashiwazaki, Echigo Province, and since Kashiwazaki of the Matsudaira family of Seishu Kuwana Domain was a territory, he became a master craftsman of the Matsudaira family and called Seisendo, and became a skilled craftsman of the Hamano school. https://www.yamasiroya.com/tousougu/070/post_1.html And kozuka:

I agree with Curran. I am well acquainted with the patination of silver from numismatics. Pure silver oxidizes in a different way, even if you artificially apply a patina of this color to pure silver - one way or another the metal would appear (on the edges and impacts), such a patina is unstable. Alloy shibuichi seems very logical to me. The patina matches. And since the jeweler wiped the top layer on a rag, he just took silver oxide, which is certainly present in this tsuba, I think, at least 30%.

Hello everyone, I continue to study the quality works of the Mito and Unno schools. Does anyone have photos of examples of such works?(Probably photos from catalogs) I also compared a several mei, the differences in kao are minimal. I remember Ford Hallam saying that artists can change their signature over the course of their lives. If anyone has any more examples of Yoshimori's work, I'd appreciate it!
-
Colin «Matsunoki», thanks for the detailed answer!
-
Likewise)) The topic itself was about something else, and certainly not about the purchase. The theme is about decorative tsuba and their meaning. It was just an example, and not the worst one. I don't really care what you buy)
-
I compared all the small details, scratches and stains. This is this object, the photo of which I posted in 1 post. Specifically, it doesn't look like a cheap cast copy.… That's right, it fits)
-
Obviously, it wasn't about Ford's job. I've already found a similar item in a different design
-
Is this a modern casting of the 21st century? If so, there are no questions. I also find the following tsuba interesting: High art, but also not for sword?
