$329.00
SAMSON, NAUGHTY BAWDY MONK, DOUBLE SCENT BOTTLE c.mid to late 19th CENTURY Very rare double scent bottle. In the mid-19th century, Meissen modeled the first version of this unique bottle after a1760s print entitled, \"Provender to the Monastery\" that depicted apious-looking friar on the road back to the monastery with provisions from hisshopping trip to town, a basket of eggs, a goose, and a sheaf of wheat. On closer inspection, however, one can see something else he is carryingback to the monastery. Concealed in the wheat, is the face of a young lady peeking over hisshoulder, with her dainty feet visible at the bottom of the sheaf. Thatnaughty, bawdy, monk is smuggling his lady friend into the abbey with theprovisions! Various porcelain makers since the mid-18th century have made their ownversions of the bawdy monk Meissen bottle. This version has the Samson Ceramicsmark, founded in late 1830s France. The bottle has two perfume chambers. The monk\'s head is the stopper for the main compartment of the bottle.The sheaf of wheat is the separate second chamber, with a porcelain beestopper. 18th and 19th century Samson pieces are highly-sought-aftercollectiblesin their own right today. 3 1/2\" high. Excellent condition with no chips, cracks or repairs. Freeshipping via FedEx If you haveany questions or need further information, please don\'t hesitate to contact us.
