The methodology consists of the totality of the application of the historical-chronological approach, historical-cultural, axiological and art history methods, which allow you to review previously known information regarding the mentioned production. The scientific novelty consists in the addition and refinement of information regarding the activities of the outlined enterprise and the addition of newly revealed data regarding the owners of the Patsykyvska faience factory. Conclusions. Based on the latest information regarding the formation, development, and activities of the Patsykyvska faience factory, it was possible to verify previously known information on the start of production, which, judging by archival sources, has been operating since 1912. Local history studies of the village of Pidlissya, which, according to the new administrative-territorial division, covers Patsykyv’s former territories in the vast modern Ivano-Frankivsk region made it possible to supplement the information on the stages of reconstruction and modernization of the enterprise, previously unknown to the general public related to the wartime of 1914–1918. The identification of the latest archival data, photographs, and sights from various state and private collections of Ukraine and Poland over the past years made it possible to clarify the names of the production of different periods, which was originally called the Erst Galician Factory of Faience and Terracotta in Patsykyv near Stanislavov, and in the interwar period – Polish factory of faience «Patsykyv» near Stanislavіv.
