Samson Ginger Jar with Cover, Hand-Painted Porcelain, Chinese Style

A Samson Ginger Jar and Cover This copies a Chinese export example in the famille rose palette. Painted with flowery sprays and gilt and with a bold finial modelled as a Kylin. On a later ebonised wooden stand. Vessels of this specific form decorated in a Famille Rose floral palette with international armorial crests represent Chinese Export Porcelain style. While original imperial or aristocratic services were commissioned from Canton during the 18th century, many well-known European porcelain houses-most notably Edme Samson of Paris during the 19th and early 20th centuries-specialized in creating highly accurate and beautiful reproductions of these historic French royal export wares.
