Note:

The Samson factory (Samson & Cie was established from 1845 to 1979/1980) in Paris was one of the producers of pottery designed on the model of seventeenth- and eighteenth-century Delft pottery. From about 1880, the factory focused entirely on the reproduction of historical objects from museum and private collections. The factory purchased original objects to preserve similarities in decoration and feel. Molds were made to allow for increased production. After manufacturing several models of such a mold, the factory sold the original object to generate funds for new originals. This garniture is such an original object.
