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 #5a Mary Frank Gaston in Collector's Encyclopedia of Limoges Porcelain, 3. The patent date stamped on the bottom of the set is Jan.
