World famous original Polish Pottery is an artistically hand painted Stoneware produced in a small town of Boleslawiec, in South Western part of Poland called Lower Silesia. It is made of white clay Kaolin, abundant around the town, hand decorated with sponges by skilled artisans, then coated in a special glaze and fired in high temperatures, in excess of 1250 C.  Each pottery piece is unique and a work of art. Skilled local artisans create endless array of patterns and decorations using sponging technique, some sign their work creating sought after pieces. Pottery making in this region has a very long and rich history.

Today’s Traditional Patterns are the evolution of the original efforts of J.G. Altman. Using the “punching” technique of hand stencilling, highly skilled artists create an array of designs and colours inspired by the local environment and culture, as well as nature.
