Mug

Mug with a spout with slightly outward tilt and a strap-like handle. The interior and exterior walls are covered in brown glaze – only the edge of the spout is unglazed. The item is not marked. The mug was excavated from the ground in the open-air museum at the Łowicz Museum, located near the former stoneware factory 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
