What a great find, a French porcelain inkstand by the famous Paris firm of Samson & Company.Rare and outstanding example of the Lowestoft Pattern with hand decorated enamel pattern often called “Chinese Lowestoft†and heavy gold trim.
Marked on bottom as shown with typical pseudo-oriental style painted symbol and a gold crown. This is from the period 1859—1870 or earlier. This lovely Desk item measures about 6.75 inches long by 5 inches wide, front to back and height is about 2 inches to top of inkwell lid.
This was found in very good, condition with some wear to gold trim and enamel from normal use.
