The Polish pottery line Boleslawiec is classified as high-density stoneware, a very hard product made of opaque white clay of excellent quality. It is resistant to chips and breakage. The dishes are completely safe to use with food - they do not contain any harmful substances. Polish pottery stoneware does not contain cadmium or lead.

High quality ceramic is hand-formed and hand-decorated. Painting on ceramics became colorful in the Boleslawiec region. The ornaments are painted using a stamping technique that is unique for Boleslawiec ceramics.

Decorative motifs are applied to the surface of the ceramic object with small stamps soaked in color. Different types of stamps are used to apply patterns to a single product. The number of individual decorative motifs obtained in this way can reach several thousand. The lively colors are selected according to Polish customs and result in a wide variety of brightly colored goods. One-piece complements another, regardless of the design.

Polish pottery is oven, microwave, dishwasher, and freezer safe because the artists who make them carefully select their clays and bake them at a scorching temperature - this makes it rock hard and pore-free. As with any stoneware, however, one should avoid sudden, extreme changes in temperature.

For best results, bring baking pans to room temperature before heating. While the ceramic is ovenproof, extreme temperature changes can cause problems. It's also best not to cook for the same reasons. As with all stoneware, stoneware baking utensils can tear if the appropriate precautions are not taken.

Also, the artisans coat all colored patterns with a transparent protective glaze to prevent wear and tear and food from sticking.

The design and decoration of Boleslawiec ceramics were heavily influenced by individual artists. Polish pottery like dishes tends to reflect the styles and patterns developed by these potters, whose work has often demonstrated remarkable originality.
