A BRIEF HISTORY
The Art of Polish Pottery, as we know it today, started as local folk art hundreds of years ago in the German province of Silesia . Then – the German town of Bunzlau, today – the Polish city of Boleslawiec, located on the BobrRiver in southwestern Poland, is home to this traditional ceramic art. The area has a history of pottery making dating back to the 7th century.
PRODUCING THE POTTERY
Today, skilled Polish artists still individually handcraft and hand decorate each piece using small sponges to stamp each pattern and color. The stoneware is made from white clay indigenous to Boleslawiec , Poland . Molds are used for some pieces, while plates are still generally made on a pottery wheel. After the process of mixing ingredients, molding the pottery, applying the decorations and glaze, the pottery is twice fired at temperatures in excess of 1250 degrees centigrade. Decorations are under the lead-free glaze, insuring that it is non-toxic and impervious to abrasives. This firing process makes the pottery extremely durable – it will not crack or chip easily – and it is perfect for use in the microwave, dishwasher, oven and freezer. Clean-up is easy with no pan preparation.
All pottery painters are trained for years and the most highly accomplished artisans earn the privilege of creating their own work from start to finish. Their pieces are signed and designated as “Unikat” which simply means “unique.” Because of the time and artistic talent required for these pieces, they are rare and command higher prices – they are truly collector’s pieces.
