A FRENCH SILVER-GILT-MOUNTED PORCELAIN SMALL PENDENT BOX, EDME SAMSON & CIE, PARIS, CIRCA 1900 the Samson porcelain modelled and painted after 18th century French snuff boxes as the face of a masked woman with diamond set eyes, the silver-gilt back with hatching to the rim mount, the hinged flat cover engraved with a buttercup, Emile Samson and boar's head marks 5.5cm long including suspension loop Samson, as well as producing contemporary wares, were renowned for their high quality copies of earlier European and Oriental porcelain and enamel; items which sometimes came to be thought of as the real things. Since their wares were often unmarked (or bear spurious marks), it is unusual to be able to ascribe with certainty an object to the firm.
