The firm of Samson et Cie, was founded in Paris in 1845 by Edme Samson (1810-1891) originally specializing in the production of good quality copies of porcelain pieces in museums and renowned private collections. The firm did not set out to pass off the reproductions as originals, as they were distinctly marked with the Samson mark, and also sometimes also with the mark of the factory that was being reproduced. Some of the reproductions were of such high quality they have been mistaken for, or passed off as being originals of the copied factory. Chelsea, Meissen, Sevres, Worcester, Derby, and Chinese Export porcelain are some of the wares that have been reproduced. Edme's son Emile Samson (1837-1913) joined the family business when it moved to larger premises outside of Paris in the 1860's
