<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Bronwen, post: 880135, member: 5833&quot;]I should add that I have no problem with good honest glass.&nbsp; James Tassie&#039;s fame began when Catherine the Great ordered a complete set of the glass paste impressions he was making of engraved gems in famous collections.&nbsp; If you couldn&#039;t own the original, a high quality copy was considered perfectly respectable.&nbsp; There was less of a problem then with glass circulating &amp; passing as stone than with newly engraved stones being sold as antiquities.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
