Pair Of Samson Porcelain Lidded Vases – Chinese Export Style

Height: 40.5 cm
Diameter: 20 cm

Elegant pair of lidded porcelain vases by Samson, Paris, late 19th century, inspired by Chinese Export (Compagnie des Indes) porcelain.

The finely executed decoration combines delicate polychrome floral sprigs with heraldic coats of arms framed by confronted lions. The composition is structured by geometric panels and enhanced with blue and gilt borders that emphasize the shape with precision.

The overall design is particularly successful: both refined and visually striking, demonstrating Samson’s well-known expertise in reinterpreting 18th-century export porcelain.

The lids are topped with stylized foo dog finials, adding a sculptural and decorative dimension to the ensemble.

Very good overall condition.

Gallery’s note:
A highly decorative pair with balanced proportions and a vivid yet controlled color palette. Ideal for a mantelpiece, a chest of drawers, or as a statement element in both classical and eclectic interiors.
