Description :
This refined set of five porcelain cups and saucers originates from the renowned Maison Samson, Paris, celebrated throughout the late 19th century for its exceptional hand-painted porcelains inspired by Asian and European decorative traditions. Each cup and saucer in this assembled ensemble features a distinctive polychrome palette—ranging from vivid turquoise to delicate rose tones—yet the group remains beautifully cohesive through its shared Orientalist motifs, scrolling cartouches and finely painted floral arrangements.
Maison Samson was particularly admired for its masterful reinterpretations of Chinese Famille Rose and Japanese Imari patterns, and these pieces exemplify that tradition with exceptional colour saturation, elegant detailing, and graceful shapes. The wide, bowl-like cups paired with richly decorated saucers create a striking visual harmony, making the set ideal for display as well as for refined tea or chocolate service.
All pieces bear Samson marks beneath, confirming their Parisian origin. Expected light wear consistent with age may be present, but the overall condition remains lovely, with all decorative details clearly visible in the photos. A charming, collectible set from one of France’s most respected decorative porcelain houses
