<p>[QUOTE="Chinoiserie, post: 9197729, member: 79460"]I think it would be hard to date plaster just by looking at it. I can imagine a piece made today would look very much like a piece made 200 years ago, unless it discolours with age maybe which I doubt? Anyone with access to an original could produce a reproduction quite easily by making a mold from the original with latex or another appropriate medium. Or maybe the composition of it would give the game away but this would require chemical analysis.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
