Pair of Samson Iznik-style vases
France, second half 19th century
Glazed pottery, standing on a disc, globular body and high flared neck. The exterior decorated in the typical Iznik style with saz leaves, hatayi and carnations in shades of green, red and blue. One of the two vases bears the mark of Samson manufature.Samson was among the European manufactures most active in reproducing Iznik ceramics, whose designs dating back to the 16th century, as in the case of these vases, had refined the tastes of Western amateurs who could appreciate them treasured in museums of applied art.
