Samson vase, France, late nineteenth century. Glazed and glazed porcelain. Green family. Louis XV style gilt bronze mounts. Measurements: 42 x 23 x 23 cm. Glazed and glazed ceramic vase following Chinese molds of "powder blue" porcelain. In the interior of the cartouches of the vase you can appreciate a style inspired by models of the green family for export. In the area of the base and the mouth of the vase we can appreciate Louis XV style gilded bronze mounts. The lid with openwork decoration stands out. The firm Samson, Edmé et Cie. was founded by Edmé Samson in 1845 in Paris, with the aim of producing replicas of ceramic and porcelain pieces exhibited in museums and private collections. The factory, moved to Montreuil in 1864, focused on the reproduction of antique and also modern pieces from other manufactures, such as Meissen, Sèvres, Chelsea and Derby. Among the pieces reproducing styles of the past are objects inspired by Italian majolica, Persian plates, Bernard Palissy pieces and Hispano-Muslim ceramics, as well as Japanese Imari and Arita pieces and reproductions of Chinese porcelain, especially of the 18th century Pink Family and Green Family styles. Samson's pieces were always reproductions, never copies with deceptive intent, since they all originally featured the factory mark, an anchor (although on some pieces it was hidden or removed). In addition, he tried to distinguish his pieces by using hard porcelain paste, when most of the originals to which he referred were of soft paste. Likewise, the scale of the pieces was changed, as well as the colors used for their decoration. The firm continued in production until 1969, and its models were sold ten years later at Christie's London.

PIETRO PAOLETTI (Belluno, 1801-1847). Didactic souvenir of the Grand Tour. Book with plaster casts. Measurements: 27 x 17 x 5 cm. Collection of "Grand Tour" plaster medallions housed in three volumes of fake book boxes. Each volume includes two compartments with a variety of plaster casts of cameos, sculptures and engraved monuments. With catalog of contents hand inscribed on the inside of the front and back covers. The Paoletti firm was advertised in Count Hawks' guidebook Le Grice Walks Through the Studii of the Sculptors at Rome (1841) as follows: Paoletti begs to inform the public that he has prepared a collection of prints (Impronte in Scajola) of many of the works in sculpture executed by illustrious artists .... Although the Impronte are no more than miniature copies; nevertheless, they exhibit all the fidelity and beauty of the original and convey to the eye a better idea of the sculpted works of art than the more finished engravings. The Paoletti's, whose studio was located in Rome's Piazza di Spagna until 1847, enjoyed a stellar reputation and counted among their clients Catherine the Great of Russia and Ferdinand III, grand duke of Tuscany. The firm continued to operate after Pietro's death until at least 1865. Examples of Paoletti molds are preserved in the Victoria & Albert Museum in London and the Yale Center for British Art in New Haven, Connecticut.
