19th Century Samson Paris Armorial Porcelain Covered Vase, “Esse Quam Videri”, 7.7”

€450

A finely modelled Samson Paris porcelain covered vase richly decorated with floral motifs, gilt ornament and an armorial crest bearing the Latin motto “Esse Quam Videri”.

Executed in the spirit of earlier 18th century European porcelain, the piece combines softly moulded rococo-inspired relief decoration with delicate hand-painted floral sprays in pink, green and iron-red tones. The domed cover is surmounted by an elegant sculptural flower finial, adding verticality and refinement to the silhouette.

Particularly striking is the heraldic cartouche to the front, painted with a decorative coat of arms above the motto “Esse Quam Videri” - translated as “To be, rather than to seem.” The combination of heraldic imagery and ornate porcelain decoration reflects the historicist aesthetic for which Samson Paris became celebrated during the late 19th century.

The underside bears an apocryphal oriental-style mark associated with Samson productions imitating earlier European and Asian porcelains.
