Jean Pouyat Limoges (J.P.L.)

Jean Pouyat was a prominent Limoges porcelain manufacturer active in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The firm was founded by Jean-Baptiste Pouyat (1806–1880), part of a well-established family deeply involved in the Limoges porcelain industry. By the mid-19th century, the Pouyat family had become one of the key producers in Limoges, operating kilns and workshops in and around the city of Limoges, France—widely regarded as the center of French hard-paste porcelain production.
