I Love Polish Pottery

Polish pottery cheese lady was designed for the use of maintaining cheeses moist and at room temperature. Thus keeping the cheese at the ideal texture to enjoy the best flavor. They consist of two pieces of stoneware. One being the lady that is used as a cover and the other the plate which is painted beautifully to match the lady. They are crafted by hand and made of extremely high quality ceramic. They are produced in a small town in the south of Poland called Boleslawiec. The ceramic that they are made with is produced naturally there as well.

All pieces of polish pottery made are different. There are no two alke. Each Polish pottery item is unique as are the artist who make these lovely stoneware pieces. They have many variations in color and designs due to the fact that they are made and painted by hand. They are each a work of art. It is a folk art that has been around since the 17th century. They are finished off by placing in an oven and fired at a temperature of 1350 degrees centigrade. This adds to their durability and usefulness. A Polish pottery cheese lady can be used to maintain pancakes and crepes warm as well.

They make a lovely addition to any kitchen or to display in a cabinet. They can also make a lovely lasting gift. Because of their durability, you may find yourself using them often instead of simply displaying them. Because of their high temperature finishing, they are oven, microwave and dishwasher safe. They are also completely lead and cadium free. Polish pottery cheese ladies are durable and chip resistant. They are great in that they are unique and rare. Many are one of a kind creations signed by the artist themselves, therefore making them an even more special and elegant ceramic piece.
