Chinese Export Famille Rose Style Mug "God Save the King" Samson or 18th Century? #1
Please note we are unsure of the age of this mug. The online research we have done shows a close resemblance to a mug owned by Mario Buatta (famous interior designer) and sold on Istdibs (see screen shots in pics). Other experts we have showed this to suggest it's likely French Samson (possibly late 19th century to early 20th century). We purchased this mug and a similar one in a large lot of bonofide Chinese Export wares at Freeman's Auction Gallery in Philadelphia, PA.
We suggest prospective buyers do their own research.
