Gerold Porzellan Knockoffs
When people see an artist or business enjoying success it is always easier to try to copy what they are doing rather than create your own vision. The porcelain manufacturers were always watching each other and tracking what sold and what didn't. In addition, they would lure employees away from other companies, etc.
In modern times you have China coming in and making copies of succesful designs. This has happened with American Indian art too. Especially if a lot of money is involved, you have to be very careful about what you buy.
