H Elaine, auction house ID, they quoted, guilding ( too fresh) figures and lettering ( too new ) also too crude.

Hi T.C, they thought that Samson was trying to imitate early meissen chinese mark's, they told me mine was a Samson and not  Meissen, when i bought it i thought all my birthday's had come at once   ::) but still, Samson is collectable in his own right  now.

What do you think Kev ? and of course you too tiger ?

I'm not sure, an imitation mark of an imitation mark, complicated.  ;D

What does it say underneath the mark?
