The business was established in 1820 by Emile PuiforcatJoseph Marie Puiforcat, and Baptiste FuchsEmile Puiforcat registered his mark in 1857, and even after his passing in 1883, his mark continued to be used until 1927. The workshops were located at 18 rue Chapon in Paris. In 1902, Louis Victor Tabouret Puiforcat, who was Fuchs's son-in-law, took charge of the business. Subsequently, in 1918, the renowned Jean Puiforcat (1897-1945), the son of Louis Victor Tabouret Puiforcat, assumed leadership of the company. Under his direction, the Puiforcat company gained widespread recognition, particularly for its Art Deco and modern style creations.

The condition is very good, with traces of age and usage, age stains. Beaker has dents and curvatures (not affect integrity and not an obstacle for usage, see photos).
