Samson and imitation
This model reproduces an iconic 18th-century shape and design known as “kakiemon”, produced by the Chantilly and Saint-Cloud manufactures in soft paste. By the second half of the 19th century, the popularity of these pieces was such that some manufacturers began designing them in hard paste. Our pair is perfectly documented in the manufactory's production, as shown in the last photo [1]. More than a simple pastiche, these shaped pieces offer a pragmatic and accessible reinterpretation of references in the arts of fire.
