What is Polish Pottery?
Polish Pottery is a hand-made ceramic pottery that is hand decorated with stamps. Products range from dinnerware sets, serving pieces, bakeware, bowls, containers, tea and coffee services to accessories such as vases, pitchers and cookie jars, to name a few. What makes it distinctive is the beautiful hand-stamped designs.
Polish farmers created these traditional designs with inspiration from the peacock feather. Using the colors of cobalt blue, peacock blue and earth tones added beauty and color to an otherwise plain and simple lifestyle. Over the years the technique of using handmade stencils to create the designs has become a form of art passed down to new generations.
Definitely use it! It is some of the best cooking stoneware that I have ever used. I have cooked pies, lasagnas, casseroles and various other meals in them. Cooking with this pottery has exceeded my expectations. Another advantage is that I don’t need to transfer the meal to another “pretty” dish for serving.
One of my male friends asked his wife to buy some of the coffee cups because they kept his coffee warm for a long time.
Is it safe?
Each ceramic dish is made of white clay and is lead and cadium free. The pottery is usable in dishwashers, conventional and microwave ovens. It is also very easy to clean.
Each piece has a category on the bottom. Category 1 pottery is oven safe for up to 425 degrees F and Category 2 is oven safe for up to 325 degrees F. Category 3 and above should only be used for serving.
