I Love Polish Pottery

The Polish Pottery Butter Dish is handcrafted of the best characteristic stoneware in the town of Boleslaweic, Poland. These ceramics are also known as Boleslaweic pottery. You’ll easily recognize a piece of this stoneware by its white or cream background with intricate designs painted in dark blues and greens, vivid yellows, and strong browns. Occasionally you’ll find reds and purples too.

One of the original designs was a peacock’s eye motif, which is still a favorite today. Other common patterns include windmills, conceptual florals, speckles and dots. Each piece is made and painted by hand in intricate detail using lead-free paint. When an artist has reached a level of perfection, they are given the privilege of creating a piece from beginning to end, and they are allowed to sign it. These particular ceramics are stamped on the bottom with UNIKAT and due to the better quality, they are rarer, and you can expect to pay a much higher price for them.

A Polish pottery butter dish is resistant to sticking, scratches and breaking and cleans up easily in the dishwasher. They are also safe for use in the refrigerator, oven, microwave and freezer. You have a choice of three styles: single, which holds a one-fourth pound stick of butter, a full pound size, and a tub. Regardless of which type you choose, most have a handy and decorative round, black knob or a built-in handle for ease in lifting the lid.

Boleslaweic pottery also comes in a large number of stunning patterns so it makes it easy to choose one to match your current dishes. These also make perfect gifts for any occasion.

Whether you buy a Polish pottery butter dish to be used individually or with a complete set of dishes, the stunning, glossy finish gives your dish an amazing presentation you’ll be proud to use every day, yet it’s beautiful enough to use for guests.
