Bunzlau in Silesia, became part of Prussia following the Peace of Breslau in 1742. It is now in Poland and known as Boleslawiec. Unlike much Germanic stoneware Bunzlau stoneware was not salt-glazed but had a lustrous brown glaze known as Lehmglasur
The relief of a lamb holding a flag was a religious symbol for the Paschal Lamb, which may represent either the sacrificial lamb of the Jewish Passover celebration, or Christ as the Lamb of God (in Latin the Agnus Dei) who was sacrified by Crucifixion.
