| References | A finely detailed creation by Samson, made to imitate Germany's Meissen of the 1760's, but French and 100 years later. It is great to get a piece with the Samson mark, as a large number bear no marks. The fact that it is onglaze is a giveaway that it is not Meissen, as Meissen marks should be underglaze. |
