A pear-shaped stoneware ewer supported by a low foot (1 cm). It has a distinct neck,with a slightly flared spout and shaped mouth. A strap-like handle was glued just below the spout. The ewer was covered with a brown glaze. On the belly, under the spout, there is a signature mark in the form of an imprint: ''ŁOWICZ / №3''.

The item was made at the stoneware factory in Łowicz, owned by the Wekstein family with Jewish roots. The factory operated between 1875 and 1939. Initially, production was supervised by specialists imported from Bunzlau (today's Bolesławiec), who trained local workers in the production of stoneware. In the interwar period, the Wekstein factory was one of the largest of its kind in Europe and periodically employed between 70 and 200 people. Its products were very successful in the Kingdom and abroad, and were awarded at exhibitions
