Boleslawiec stoneware, commonly known as "Polish Pottery," originated as folk art in the early 1800s. It was crafted in the German province of Silesia, now a part of Poland. Inspired by the peacock feather, farmers were instrumental in creating statements of strength and beauty in each piece of their tableware.
Today, in small towns in Poland, skilled artisans still individually handcraft and hand paint each piece with the same pride and care used over a century ago, preserving the charm of Old Central Europe. Antique Boleslawiec stoneware can be seen in museums, antique shops, and in private collections throughout Europe. Our supplier is a family owned business that imports Polish pottery in traditional and modern patterns. They work directly with the artists in Poland to create top quality pottery items.
The traditional designs feature iridescent eye markings that characterize the peacock. These large blue and green eyespots and variations are classically arranged on the pieces to depict patterns that are distinctive to the region. Contemporary Polish pottery artists have expanded into a variety of other patterns. Excellent craftsmanship is a hallmark of Boleslawiec stoneware. Each piece is an individual creation, so no two pieces are exactly alike.
Polish pottery is created from a white clay and fired in coal and gas ovens at temperatures in excess of 1,350 degrees centigrade with a lea-free glaze. Where appropriates, this stoneware is safe in the dishwasher, microwave and oven. It is non-toxic and impervious to abrasives. As an extremely durable stoneware, it will not crack or chip easily. Thus, Polish pottery is an appealing combination of a functional and beautiful stoneware.
Due to the uniqueness of each piece, we do not currently offer an online catalog of our Polish pottery. However several examples are shown below. Please e-mail us to inquire about pricing or current availability of pieces.
