This caters to different interests: some people are looking for tableware for everyday use, while others want a souvenir. Arrangements at the company showroom may change, so check visiting options in advance.

Porcelain also has a cultural connection in the film “Amélie”: a service made by a Kashubian porcelain manufacturer appears in one scene. This film reference offers a different perspective on the material from the products at the company showroom. If you plan your stay around cultural interests, you can consider both a factory tour with a possible showroom visit and the connection between porcelain and cinema.

A walk through Łubiana towards Lake Sudomie passes a brick building dating from the turn of the 20th century.
