Made by Samson, Paris in Meissen style, 1880's.

In the 19th century, Samson Ceramics, a French porcelain manufacturer, became renowned for replicating the styles of prestigious makers like Meissen.
Founded by Edme Samson in Paris, the company excelled in reproducing Meissen's intricate designs, catering to a growing demand for high-quality porcelain at more affordable prices.
While Samson's imitations were admired for their craftsmanship, the company marked its pieces to distinguish them from genuine Meissen originals. Despite primarily focusing on Meissen, Samson also replicated designs from other esteemed porcelain makers.

Today, Samson pieces are valued by collectors for their historical significance and craftsmanship.
