184515379Paris 1845. Pen ink and watercolour. Very good condition apart from some overall light soiling and foxing overall light creasing and a vertical crease in the center. A rare example of an original watercolour design for porcelain by the Samson factory of Paris.<br/> <br/> This drawing shows a full-height outline of a covered pot with high waisted body and spreading foot drawn in ink and completed in delicate washes of red green and soft blue. The main surfaces are filled with loose asymmetrical floral sprays centred on a large bouquet of roses and other garden flowers repeated on the shoulder foot and domed cover. The spout and opposing handle take the form of sinuous dragon- or serpent-like creatures their heads heightened in red and their scaly bodies mottled in green adding a whimsical zoomorphic note to the otherwise floral scheme. The French porcelain manufactory Samson & Co. was founded in 1845 by Edmé Samson 1810-1891 a Paris-born painter on ceramics who began by making replacement pieces for damaged services before turning to high-quality reproductions of historic wares. Working first at 7 rue Vendôme later rue Béranger in Paris and later from a factory at Montreuil run by his son Emile Samson 1837-1913 the firm drew on a large study collection of original pieces to copy or adapt designs from Sèvres Meissen Chelsea Derby and Worcester as well as Chinese export porcelain Japanese Islamic Delft faience and maiolica. Samson always maintained that its reproductions were distinctly marked to avoid confusion with the originals though later removal or alteration of marks has often led the firms work to be mistaken for earlier pieces. Production continued into the twentieth century finally ceasing in 1969 and the manufactory is now recognised as one of the most inventive nineteenth-century interpreters of historic ceramic styles. Surviving design drawings such as the present work offer rare insight into the way the Samson workshop translated museum models and historic patterns into working colour copies for its painters and modellers. unknown
