The faience manufacture was established in Lubartów, which was granted town rights by King Augustus III on 22 November 1744 at the request of the then town owner, Paweł Karol Sanguszko.
On the initiative of Henryk Łubieński, the Lubartów factory was set up in the buildings that remained after the stables and the former manor granaries. For the first years, until around 1843, the manufactory was run by a Saxon, Robert Wendler, while in later years by Teodor Mattschas. The good fortune of the Lubartów manufactory did not last long; however, as already in 1845, the estate and the factory were seized by the Bank of Poland due to charges brought against Henryk Łubieński. The charges concerned mismanagement and consequent losses incurred by the bank as its vice-president. The lack of good organisation and thus the rapidly deteriorating financial situation of the factory led to its liquidation in 1850.
The specific, unique style characterised stoneware and faience products of Lubartów manufactory. The manufactured plates, saucers, vases, or plaited baskets of one tone colour - white, grey, cream, brown, brown with various shades - were combined with exciting decorations, such as human figures, mythological motifs or animals, especially dogs as the favourite and often repeated pattern.
