Founded in 1873 by Ludwig Lowenstein in Ostrov, Czech Republic (then Schlackenwerth, Bohemia Austria), the factory was managed by Josef Pfeiffer Jr in the 1900's, and was renamed Pfeiffer & Lowenstein. In 1938 the Nazis seized the factory and renamed it Porcelain Factory Schlackenwerth Josef Pfeiffer. After the war, the owners were Luise & Wilhelm Pfeiffer and George von Hoffmann until it closed in 1949. ** I have attached other tankards from same time/company for comparison. Circa 1920s - 40s. This is an exceptional piece and was well cared for!
