<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Pat P, post: 64178, member: 201&quot;]I&#039;m wondering how reproduction items like mine and the OP&#039;s (assuming it&#039;s a repro) are usually produced.</p><p><br /></p><p>Do manufacturers pay big bucks to buy an original that their designer uses as a model? Or does the designer look at items in a museum and copy the details down to reproduce later?</p><p><br /></p><p>It seems like photos of all sides aren&#039;t usually available, so I think a faithful repro wouldn&#039;t be do-able without seeing the item in person.</p><p><br /></p><p>I can&#039;t even find another instance of my repro, even though I know the keywords to use for the myth it&#039;s based on. That makes me think it was a small production run, possibly for a museum shop. So how could a manufacturer even put much time, money, or cost into it and still have it be profitable?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
