ABOUT PRODUCTID 16997
This porcelain platter, produced in the late 19th century by the Samson manufactory in Paris, is crafted from thin, high-quality porcelain in a warm, ivory white tone with a gentle sheen. The irregularly scalloped rim is highlighted by hand-painted orange-red lines, accentuating raised shell-like scrolls at the upper edge. At the center, an intricate hand-painted floral composition merges shades of pink, purple, orange, and lively green, while small clusters of pastel flowers and purple ribbon festoons gracefully circle the border. The painted decoration demonstrates precise, repeatable brushwork – a hallmark of Samson's historic replicas emulating 18th-century Chinese export porcelain. The platter measures 22 cm in diameter. Its condition is outstanding: no signs of wear, chips, or discoloration, with the original glaze and vibrancy of the colors perfectly preserved. This platter evokes the ambiance of the Belle Époque, when European manufactories were captivated by Far Eastern artistry. The design and brushwork echo the voice of late-19th-century salons – the porcelain tells a story of French craftsmanship drawn toward exotic refinement. Its hand-painted blooms suggest the quiet confidence of historic Parisian interiors, while the poised outline bridges the lightness of Oriental inspiration with the French tradition for technical vigilance. Every surface retains a sense of delicacy, as if the dish still awaits a gentle ritual woven into daily life. It can be displayed in a dining room on a wooden buffet or marble console, where natural light will enhance the porcelain’s painterly nuances. The platter could be paired
