Samson & Cie was operated by four generations in Paris and Montreauil-sous-Bois from 1845 to 1979/1980. It was first established by Edme Samson (Paris 1810 – 1891) at 7, Rue Vendôme (later Rue Béranger) in Paris. In 1864, the factory was moved to Montreuil by Samson's son, Emile Samson (1837-1913).
A pair of large French porcelain urns, each after the Chinese export antiquity - depicting famille rose pallet enamel decorated porcelain with a quatrefoil appearance, four windows showcasing romantic birds resting on floral and foliate branches. Each heavily gold accents to the body and topped with matching lids. Sampson mark to the underside.
These vases are highly unusual with their condition, size and quality. The Samson factory was known for their incredibly high quality porcelain.
