Traditional Westerwald stoneware is a type of ceramic ware that was produced in the lower Westerwald and the Kannenbäckerland in the early modern period.

In the second half of the 19th century, a new technique made it possible to upturn the jars in plaster moulds, making it easier to produce large quantities of stoneware pots.
The cool stoneware jars were used to store food such as sauerkraut or yeast dough.
