Let Jania's introduce you to the

Each piece of Boleslawiec stoneware is created and decorated by hand.
The forms and patterns have been continuously developed over centuries
by skilled artisans who create bowls, plates, cups or other distinctive
pieces from the famous white clay found near the town of Boleslawiec,
Poland.
Polish pottery is loved for it's relatively thick walled soft line
look, traditional patterns and the attractive colors of cobalt blue,
forest green and reddish brown. The Potter's Guild has shunned machine
produced manufacturing of common pieces and never use decals as part
of the decoration process.
Each piece of polish pottery is carefully decorated by hand using a
brush or sea sponges for hand stamping (or punching as it is called)
by artists. No one piece is exactly the same, which is an appreciated
aspect of hand produced designs.
There is a higher level of original design and art that is reserved
for master artists. Unikat (polish for unique) and Signature (signed
by the artist) patterns are created by each master artist and reflects
the individual artist's expression.
There are certain traditional colors that are used in every piece of
Polish pottery or stoneware. This usage of traditional colors and forms,
and hand created, artist inspired designs all contribute to the old
world look and charm of Boleslawiec Stoneware (Polish pottery). Every
piece is the creation of a master craftsman.
All the colors and designs of Boleslawiec Stoneware complement each
other. This enables pottery lovers to mix and match Polish stoneware
to create their own personal displays of these beautiful, and practical,
art pieces. Collectors can express their unique artistic taste in their
own homes.
