Welcome to the forum , massdog69 .
I have an opinion , for your consideration , concerning the small dragon-motif table you posted an image of .
To me , this motif appears to be a Suijin (Japanese water-god dragon) ... the dragons on the piece appear to all be three-toed dragons .
Japanese dragons of the era of the piece of furniture , almost without exception , would have only 3 toes .
Although fairly uncommon in Chinese dragon motifs , 3 toe dragons were used , but most commonly were 4 or even 5 toe motif .
The three-toed dragon is an indicator of the origin of this piece might just well be Japan , not China .
