Blue Rose Handpainted Polish Pottery Peacock Design Rectangular Dish

5.25″ x 10.0″ – perfect for microwave use! The tradition of Polish Pottery, or Bunzlauer stoneware, dates back to the 16th century, where it originated as a local folk art in Silesia, Poland. Characterized by its durability, the first known ‘Bunzlauer’ pieces were crafted and stamped using potatoes, featuring designs with cobalt blue, sage green, and ferrous red hues, often incorporating the peacock feather pattern. Skilled Polish artists handmake and decorate every item with small sponges to apply patterns and colors. The process includes mixing, decorating, and a two-stage firing, resulting in extremely resilient pieces. The Blue Rose Polish Pottery Rectangular Serving Dish exemplifies this craftsmanship, boasting a beautiful peacock design. This dish is not only aesthetically pleasing, complementing various tableware, but is also versatile, oven-safe, freezer friendly, and microwaveable, ensuring a lifetime of use. As with all handmade items, expect unique variations that add to the beauty of this piece.
