The History of Polish Stoneware
Polish Stoneware, also know as Polish Pottery, or Boleslawiec Stoneware or Pottery, originated as folk art in the early part of the eighteen century in the German province of Silesia, now a part of Poland. The peacock feather inspired the early decorations. The history of pottery making in this ancient region of Europe dates back to the seventh century. Today, in the small village of Boleslawiec, Poland this time-honored tradition of artistically crafted stoneware continues.

Beautiful and Durable…
Polish Stoneware is truly beautiful for all special occasions as well as very durable for every day use. It is crafted out of clay indigenous to this region. Only natural and ecological materials are used throughout the entire production process. Polish Stoneware is cadmium and lead free. Due to the special glaze and very high firing temperatures of 1,250 degrees Celsius it is extremely durable and highly resistant to chipping and scratching. Polish stoneware may be used in the oven, microwave, freezer and dishwasher. However, as with all stoneware, sudden and extreme temperature changes need to be avoided. Each piece of stoneware is handcrafted and hand decorated by artisans, using small sea sponges to apply unique and beautiful stamping patterns.

Decorations and patterns come in wide variety of offerings. Traditional patterns are loved and appreciated for their strong and vibrant colors of cobalt blue, forest green and reddish browns. Unikat or Unique and Signature patterns are created only by master artists. These patterns are truly unique and reflect the artist’s individual expression. Polish stoneware is crafted in an endless selection of designs and vibrant color combinations. All colors and designs are crafted to compliment each other and to invite you to enjoy the fun process of searching for your perfect mix and match of your choice of patterns.
