This tall, 17.5" urn is probably Limoges, and has a mark, both painted on and impressed, "JP France, and a castle. It is a beautiful bright but deep blue, with hand painted gold handles, one thick, and one thinner band of scrolling type bands on the top, in addition to an eagle and bee motifs.

At the turn of the century when Napolean first became emperor, he thought it would be suitable to change France' Coat of Arms symbols to match the new sovereign state. Together with his cohorts, decisions were made to make the colors, azure and gold.

At around the same time period, during the late 18th century Limoges was first made, and began to be made and distributed by factories. Both Jean Pouyat and Jacob Petit, artists working around the same time, could possibly have painted the urn. Using all of this information, it seems logical that the urn is limoges porcelain, and made in the beginning of the 19th century, perhaps by Jean Pouyat (JP) of Jacob Petit (JP).
