I've now found exactly one site referencing other makers mimicking his works, and one auction house that had a gilt brass Lord Nelson brooch they attribute to William Tassie with no evidence. This is not easy to look into when everyone has a different description for all white cameos and middle-class costume isn't a fancy royal portrait. :confused:[/QUOTE]
