The Austrian Museum of Folk Life and Folk Art in Vienna was founded in 1895. From the beginning, ceramics were collected. Today, the ceramic collections include about 15,000 objects, of which more than 300 are faiences most probably originating from the west of Slovakia. About 70 of these are from the 17th century and about 80 from the 18th century. Many of the objects entered the collections in the early years of the museum through donations and purchases. An important patron was the art historian Alfred Ritter Walcher von Molthein (1867–1928). He was one of the 19th century researchers and collectors who started the Haban myth about the Hutterites. Between 1974 and 2008, the Austrian Museum of Folk Life and Folk Art had a branch museum in Burgenland, the Ethnographic Museum in Kittsee Castle. During restoration work on the castle, shards were found that are known as the Kittseer Kellerfund (Kittsee cellar find).

The Castle of Regéc, located in what is today Northeastern Hungary, is one of the largest fortresses built at the turn of the 13th and 14th century. The fortified castle has a complex history; in the post-mediaeval era, several noble and aristocratic families owned it (among others, the Alaghy, Mágóchy, Esterházy, and Rákóczi families). As the Haban wares became increasingly popular in the 17th century in the western, northeastern, and eastern areas of the Carpathian Basin, this type of ceramic can be found at Regéc as well. Besides the numerous small potsherds and stove tiles, a plate and many fragments of a unique type of floor brick have been excavated. The latter two objects were selected for the present study, which will perhaps show that besides the traditional art historical analysis of ceramics stored in museums or private collections, it is just as important to make comparative studies to evaluate the historical archaeological material. The present study gives an introduction to the selected material. The Haban plate, dated to 1659 by its inscription, is a unique piece; similar types can be found in some collections. The type of decorated floor bricks is possibly the only identified masterpiece of Haban craftsmen among those that have been found in the region.
