Samson Paris Porcelain Bacchante Figure, Derby Style, C. 1860–1870

A finely modelled Samson of Paris porcelain figure representing a bacchante, executed in the Derby style and dating to the mid-19th century. Part of a recognised Samson series known as the “Four Muses”, the figure shows a classical female holding grapes, with a tambourine at her feet.

The decoration is highlighted by a vivid cobalt-blue drapery with gilt ornament, combined with soft flesh tones and carefully painted features.

The underside bears a puce mark of a crown above a letter “D”, used by Samson in imitation of Derby factory marks.

An attractive cabinet piece with strong decorative appeal and classical subject matter.
