Olive Boat, Curved, 13" x 1.75" in "Butterfly Blues" by Andy | NDA132-17

Imagine a dinner party where every detail is perfect, right down to the charming and artistic vessel cradling your olives. Enter the Polish Pottery Olive Boat, crafted in a sinuous curve that elegantly stretches 13 inches in length. This isn't just any olive boat; it's a piece of functional art, adorned with the mesmerizing "Butterfly Blues" pattern by the talented Andy. The design, vibrant with blue butterflies fluttering across a crisp white background, adds a whimsical touch to your table setting, making each olive picked an experience rather than just an appetizer.

Hand-painted in the quaint town of Boleslawiec, Poland, this olive boat is the product of centuries-old traditions, where pottery is not just made but lovingly created using the "punching" technique. This method involves hand-stamping, allowing highly skilled artisans to breathe life into the earthenware with each pattern unique to the creator’s touch. Though the "Butterfly Blues" pattern is deemed Traditional—a testament to its timeless appeal—it still varies slightly from piece to piece, thanks to the diverse interpretations of various artists. This variability ensures that no two pieces are exactly alike, giving you a one-of-a-kind artifact for your home.

Not only is this Polish Pottery Olive Boat a visual delight, but it is also built to last, with high-quality materials that are tough, durable, and chip-resistant. Perfect for everyday use and special occasions, it is safe for the dishwasher, microwave, freezer, and oven (up to 425 degrees), ensuring practicality matches its beauty. Whether you're looking to jazz up your home dining experience or searching for a stunning, unique gift, this olive boat promises to be a conversation starter. So why settle for ordinary when you can elevate your culinary presentations with a touch of Polish heritage and artistry?

Cleaning 

Polish Pottery is Dishwasher safe! Or, clean by hand using regular dish soap and scrub brush. 

Guidelines to keep your pottery in excellent condition:

You may safely use Polish pottery in the microwave and in a conventional oven at temperatures up to 425°F. We recommend you heat your stoneware up to temperature with the oven. Make sure to always cover the entire bottom of the dish when baking. For example, you don't want to put a single chicken breast in the center of a baker and leave the rest of the surface area uncovered, as the empty spots will heat at a different rate than those with food on them. Polish pottery does not like quick changes in temperature or uneven heat sources, and thermal shock WILL result in a broken dish.

Never place your pottery directly on a hot stovetop burner! 

While Polish pottery is extremely durable, it should not be taken directly from the freezer and placed into a hot oven. In addition, cold water or frozen food should not be placed in a hot piece of pottery. Always allow cooling or warming to room temperatures before heating in an oven or placing in a freezer. If taken care of properly, your Polish pottery can last for generations!
