Plaster copies of bronze-metal sculptures for example are very popular today and some are highly desirable.</p><p><br /></p><p>The use of cheaper materials and low-cost manufacturing as always been with us in one way or another: Silver plate, spelter and terracotta to name just a few.</p><p><br /></p><p>I also believe there will always be a healthy collective marketplace for good design, and the use of cheaper materials &amp; production techniques also allows more expensive items to be more comfortably affordable. Who of us will ever be able to posses an original Wisteria lamp by Tiffany, but a decently made &#039;copy&#039; can often display itself beautifully and at fraction of the cost, whilst also commanding a value of its own.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
