13” tall in extremely good condition.

Beautiful antique Samson Paris hard-paste porcelain figural group, dating to circa 1880–1910. Made in the blanc-de-chine (pure white) style. The piece depicts a pastoral young woman leaning over a decorative Rococo fountain, surrounded by applied floral elements.

Marked on the underside with a blue underglaze arrow—a known Samson mark. The base features intricate Rococo scrollwork with original piercings. This piece was made as a lamp base and retains the original drilled openings for early electrified lighting.

The tiny lamp bulb would go in to the fountain part.

Measurements: 13” tall

Condition:

Excellent antique condition. Expected age wear.

No visible losses to tiny flower petals (common on Samson pieces). Drilled opening for lamp wiring appears original to the design.

No visible cracks or repairs.

A beautiful example of late 19th-century French porcelain and a classic Samson decorative piece.
