The whistler is inspired by the folk ceramics of Central Ukraine and is created by Poltava residents in Poltava.

The painting of the whistler was created based on the sketches of contemporary Poltava artist Nato Mikeladze.

Masters of "Lovy Leva" spend a lot of time on creating a figure-whistler. First, a sketch is drawn, then a mold is molded from plasticine, then the plaster mold is removed, filled with clay, dried, the clay is removed and all parts are connected. After that, engobe painting is applied (engob is a mixture of clay and colored pigment), dries, and is fired. Then it is taken out of the oven, sprinkled with water and fired again.
