Samson established his factory in Paris in 1845, producing pieces inspired by and copied from the work of famous factories, including Meissen, Sèvres, Chelsea, Derby and all the major factories of England, France and Germany, as well as tin-glazed earthenware or faience. He claimed to mark all pieces with his own double 'S' mark as well as the mark of the original piece, but in many cases his own mark is missing.\r\n\r\n","physicalDescription":"Figurine of Juliet standing on a rococo-style base decorated with gold lines, wearing a dress with a turquoise bodice with a square-cut neckline, white cuffs and a pink overskirt open to reveal a white underskirt decorated in gold, green and maroon with linear and floral decoration.
