Samson Damaged Tankard

This is a nice tankard made by Samson of Paris in the 19th century. Meant to imitate a Chelsea Derby piece with a blue anchor and letter D under a crown mark but also has the gold double S mark showing it to be made by Samson the imitator. I bought the piece to use it for an everyday piece but alas when it arrived it turned out to be restored and I cannot use it since it would fall apart over time. I was bummer but we've all been there when buying online. The piece is superbly hand painted with some nice floral arrangements as well as a stunning blue ground with nice gilding over it. Gold trim to the edges and handle. The piece perfectly and honestly I cannot figure out what was restored but I am sure the handle was off. I don't see anything else when shining a light through it but there is over paint on the inside. Likely just to hide the repair and give it all an even appearance. A bit of wear to the gilding along the top edge. The piece is 5.75 inches tall and 3.5 inches in diameter. Please email me for more information or other pictures.
