HISTORY/MARKS: The Pouyat family was
one of the oldest French names associated with the porcelain in the Limoges
region dating all the way back to the 1700’s.
Jean Pouyat began a company in 1842 at Limoges and the business was
carried on by his sons after his death in 1849.
About 1883, the company became known as La Ceramique. The now famous JPL backstamps were used
beginning in 1851 and the specific one that is on this set is called mark #5 (Mary Frank Gaston in Collector’s Encyclopedia of Limoges Porcelain, 3rd
edition) which was used from 1890-1932. There is also the J. Pouyat Limoges Studio Decorating mark #9 used 1906-1932. In addition, there is the Wanamaker mark, the “W” inside of a green wreath with ribbon under it which indicates Wanamaker operations in Philadelphia, Paris, and New York. The mark was used from 1900-1920 so this sets the circa to be 1900-1920.
