About the Item

This superb set of four demitasse cups and saucers is an exceptional example of the refined and richly decorative work produced by Samson, Paris, in the late 19th century. Each cup features a different color palette—turquoise, rose, teal, and blue—yet all display the same exuberant hand-painted decoration for which Samson is celebrated. The vibrant polychrome motifs combine scrolling acanthus leaves, delicate floral garlands, and subtle chinoiserie accents, echoing the great European porcelain traditions that Samson often reinterpreted with remarkable finesse. The saucers mirror the elegance of the cups, with beautifully balanced compositions and crisp detailing enhanced by deep, saturated colors. Together, the four sets create a harmonious yet delightfully varied ensemble, perfect for collectors of fine French porcelain or lovers of refined decorative tableware. Crafted around 1880–1900, these pieces exemplify Samson’s ability to blend historical inspiration with distinctive Parisian artistry.
