About the Item

Safavid-style Samson porcelain vase This ceramic vase features a globular body and elongated neck, rising from a low, flared foot. The piece is distinguished by its dichromatic palette of mottled turquoise as a base and cobalt black decoration throughout. The dense design follows the Persian or Safavid style, covering the body with animal motifs among foliage, including a charging feline, gazelles, and birds. The neck and foot are decorated with geometric and floral patterns. The unglazed base bears hand marks. This type of piece is attributed to the 19th-century French house of Samson, famous for its faithful reproductions of historic oriental ceramics.
