A 19thc Chinese Export Style Samson Tea Caddy

Description
A large, fine quality, Samson Chinese export style tea caddy. Faux Chinese marks to the base. Latin inscription reading "Esse quam videri" ("to act, not to seem to be") which is the motto of numerous families.
The company of Samson, Edme et cie was founded by the eponymous Mr Samson in 1845. The company specialised in reproductions of works by the major porcelain houses. The range of Samson's work, indeed, was very broad, including copies of Chinese famille rose and famille verte porcelain and especially armorial pieces (as here), but the business also produced reproductions of Japanese Imari as well. However, considerably closer to home Samson also produced new pieces of Worcester, Chelsea, Sevres and Meissen porcelain. Samson's works are now extremely collectible.
Condition
In excellent antique condition.
Dimensions
16cm high
