Note: The Samson factory (or Maison Samson) was one of the most fascinating and famous French ceramic manufacturers of the 19th and 20th centuries. Founded in Paris in 1845 by Edmé Samson (1810–1891), it ceased trading in 1979. Nicknamed the ‘geniuses of imitation’, the Samsons built their immense global reputation on a unique concept: the perfect, high-quality reproduction of antique ceramics from museums and major private collections.
