Beautifully shaped large scallop serving dish – the detail is amazing! 10.5″ diameter x 2.75″ deep The Art of Polish Pottery, a beloved ceramic tradition, started as local folk art centuries ago in the German province of Silesia. The first known pieces of “Bunzlauer” stoneware, dating back to the 16th century, were crafted by hand and decorated with a folk art stamping technique using potatoes. Original designs were inspired by the peacock feather, using the timeless colors of cobalt blue, sage green, and ferrous red. These classic designs and colors continue to inspire modern-day patterns, blending heritage and style. Today, skilled Polish artisans individually handcraft and hand-decorate each piece using small sponges to stamp each pattern and color, echoing traditional techniques. After meticulously mixing ingredients, molding the pottery, applying decorations, and glazing, the pottery undergoes a twice-fired process. This painstaking process ensures the pottery is extremely durable, resistant to cracking and chipping, and perfectly safe for microwave, dishwasher, oven, and freezer use.
