Pfeiffer & Lowenstein was a porcelain factory located in Schlakenwerth, Bohemia, Austria (now called Skláře, Czech Republic). It was originally founded by Ludwig Lowenstein in 1873, but was later managed by Josef Pfeiffer Jr., which led to the name change. The factory operated from 1873 to 1949, with a period under Nazi control, and was renamed.
