19th Century Derby Porcelain Lidded Centerpiece

About the Item

PRESENTING a GLORIOUS Early 19C Derby Porcelain Lidded Centerpiece. Early piece of Derby porcelain, with early mark. From circa 1800-20. Entirely hand-painted and hand gilded in 24ct gold. The Lid has a gilded ‘crocus’ flower finial with 3 hand-painted floral panels. Classic Royal Derby Cobalt blue with profuse gilt decoration. The base/bowl is white porcelain again with 3 hand painted floral panels, cobalt blue and profuse gilt work. It has a pieced fretwork top and has 3 gilt ‘ram’ heads with curling horns on the sides. It extends to a tripod base of 3 sheep’s feet or hooves on a base plinth that again is cobalt blue with gilt work. Under the base is it marked with a ‘Crown’ with 6 internal dots and dots around the crown. It has the initials “AB” underneath. Whilst we have been unable to locate an identical mark for Royal Crown Derby, the similarities to other Derby marks couple with the decoration and style lead us to the firm opinion that this is a ‘Derby’ piece rather than German or Dresden. It is in ‘near mint’ condition with no chips or cracks and only some very minor rubbing to the gilt work. AN AMAZING SURVIVOR FROM THE REGENCY ERA ! Provenance: From a Private Dallas Collection. Condition: Very good condition. No chips or cracks. Some very minor loss (fading) of gilt decoration on base from age, but not significant enough to devalue the piece. Dimensions: 10.5 in Tall, Lid Diameter of 8.5 in, Base rim is 9.5 in wide to include the rams heads. The Bowl has a diameter of 8.25 in and the plinth is 5.25 in wide and the same deep.

    By Samson & Cie
    Located in Dallas, TX
    Presenting a gorgeous French 19th century Samson Paris Porcelain Trinket Box probably by Edme Samson. Marked on the base with “Made in France” and unmistakably in the style and manner of Samson. The lid features hand painted floral bouquets on an ivory porcelain background with gold edging, surrounded by a sky blue lid with gold web or crackling effect.. The lid is hinged and the lid and base are edged in floral gilt metal mounts with Fleur De Lis clasp. It sits on 4 gilt metal or ormolu feet. The sides are likewise hand decorated. This wonderful antique hand painted box is just bursting with History. Inspired by Edme Samson of Samson & Co., Paris. we believe (based upon the markings and natural aging) that it was made between 1880– 1890 in France and was meant to resemble an antique of a much earlier period. It is very similar to Sevres pieces with it’s color, decoration and design. Samson specialized in reproducing antiques from the 1600 and 1700s. One of his most interesting works was his Heraldic or Armorial pieces. With this medium sized box, he was not only copying the larger porcelain caskets or coffin boxes...
