Pair of 19th Century Samson Edmé et Cie Porcelain Jars with Chinese Motif

About the Item

A matched pair of 19th century porcelain urns with lids, made by Samson Edmé et Cie porcelain, of Paris. Samson opened in 1845 and soon became well-known for making reproductions of ceramic pieces on display in museums and private collections. Although the company was imitating existing styles, Samson porcelain products were (and continue to be) valued for their high quality, skillful artistry and brightly-colored glazes. These urns are decorated with Samson's idiosyncratic interpretation of Famille Rose style Chinese motifs. Each urn has three large images, surrounded by variety of finely-detailed floral, figurative and abstract designs. They are both marked at the bottom with "pseudo Chinese" marks in red glaze.

  • Pair of 19th Century Aesthetic Movement Majolica Urns, German, Attrib. Hanke
    By Reinhold Hanke
    Located in Madrid, ES
    A matched pair of late 19th century Bohemian / German majolica porcelain urns. With a contrasting mix of Christian, mythological, grotesque and neoclassical elements, they exemplify the highly decorative, "art for art's sake" ideology of the Aesthetic Movement (1860-1900). Colorful and engaging, the style was a direct and confrontational answer to the rise of mass-produced and industrial culture. With impressed marks "R.H. 35" on their bases, the urns were most probably manufactured by Reinhold...

  • 19th Century Spanish Arab Style Copper Two-Handled Jug with Wrought Iron Stand
    Located in Madrid, ES
    Copper containers of varying shapes and sizes have been used in Spanish homes and kitchens for many centuries. Copper and its alloys were particularly popular metals for storing and preparing foodstuffs, not only because they were they durable, but because these metals exhibited natural antibacterial properties. This particular jug, most likely made for the storage and serving of liquids such as water or milk, exhibits strong Hispano-Moresque influences. The baluster shape, symmetrical wing-like handles, and fitted, domed lid all reference Spanish Arab...
