Pot

A stoneware pot with a barrel-shaped belly, a slightly outward-facing spout and two handles. It is covered with a brown glaze. A circumferential groove runs under the spout. The bottom part is unglazed. The vessel is not marked.

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 brought 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
