About the Item

This is a very good fluted porcelain armorial tea cup and saucer in the Chinese taste with an Armorial lion and horse supporting a shield above a legend, made by Samson, Paris, France. Edme Samson, Paris, circa 1860 - 1880. EdmeSamson of Paris (1810-1891) was one of the foremost copyists of Chinese porcelain and nowadays his copies are treasured in the own right for the quality of their craftsmanship and skill in painting, as with this piece. This piece is beautifully made with lavish bianco-sopra-bianco, enamel and gilt decoration. The cup has a Heraldic Coat of Arms on the front in the style of Chinese Export porcelain with a lion and horse supporting a red shield with a banner carrying the Latin phrase; SOLA VIRTUS INVICTA which translated means; Only Virtue is Invincible. The base of the cup has a pseudo-Chinese mark in iron red. Notes: A Major market in Chinese armorial porcelain developed in England in the mid 18th Century, with early pieces by Worcester. This continued with Flight and Chamberlain Worcester into the early 19th Century.
