Mug, Belly Mug, 16 oz Large in "Garden Breeze" by Andy | NDA10-A48

Imagine the perfect start to your day: a steaming cup of your favorite coffee or tea, cradled in a mug that's not just functional, but a piece of art. This isn't just any mug; it's a Polish Pottery Belly Mug, crafted with care and artistry in the quaint town of Boleslawiec, Poland. The "Garden Breeze" pattern that adorns this delightful 16 oz mug is a vibrant tableau of large green flowers with sunlit golden centers, playful swirls of green leaves and vines, and charming accents of tiny pink flowers. Each sip not only warms your body but also your spirit, thanks to the uplifting design that turns your morning routine into a serene moment of reflection.

The beauty of the "Garden Breeze" pattern lies in its traditional artistry—a style celebrated for its ubiquity and recognition within the realm of Polish pottery. Crafted using the time-honored "punching" technique, skilled artisans hand-stamp each design, inspired largely by the natural world around them. Despite being labeled as 'simpler' patterns, these traditional motifs do not skimp on charm or intricacy. The process allows for an infinite production run, meaning each piece, while similar, holds its own unique variation thanks to the diverse hands that paint and mold them. This makes your mug not just a drinking vessel, but a collectible artifact, unique in its finish and story.

More than just aesthetically pleasing, this Polish Pottery mug brings robust practicality to the table. It stands 4 inches tall and measures 5 inches wide, including the handle, making it the perfect holder for a generous morning brew. Designed to endure, the high-quality materials ensure the mug is tough, durable, and resistant to chips. Safe for use in the dishwasher, microwave, freezer, and even the oven (up to 425 degrees), it's as versatile as it is beautiful. Hand-painted by artisans in Andy’s small, family-owned factory, each mug not only supports traditional craft but also brings a slice of Polish heritage into homes around the globe, especially cherished by military families who have encountered its charm during overseas postings. Brew your next cup in this splendid mug and elevate your everyday to something truly extraordinary.

16 oz., 4" tall x 5" wide (including handle)

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!
