Similar to late 18th century Chinese export porcelain made during the Federal period and marketed to the United States. John Adams Service is an example. This Samson copy made in the late 19th century is remarkably detailed, hand painted, true to thickness and integrity of the earlier Chinese pieces. I have only seen a few pieces of this service on the market. This is a wonderful, useable service. All listed below in very good condition, with no chips or hairlines.
