Introducing the Polish Pottery 10" Round Tray by Ceramika Artystyczna in the captivating "Cat Tracks" pattern (1771). These round trays are not only stunning, but also incredibly versatile! The "Cat Tracks" pattern is a whimsical blend of Cats and Paw Prints, predominantly in a crisp White color with playful accents in Blue. As you gaze at this pattern, you'll notice small dark blue paw prints, larger light blue paw prints, and even occasional white paw prints with adorable little claws, scattered across the entire design.

But that's not all! Slightly off-center, a silhouette of a majestic black cat stands facing counterclockwise, its tail curved and raised with confidence. Four black paw prints gracefully trail behind the cat, while four more paw prints boldly lead the way in front. This pattern exudes a sense of elegance and charm, making it a true masterpiece.

Let's talk about the artistry behind this creation. The "Cat Tracks" pattern is considered to be of Traditional level, which means it embodies the most common and recognizable designs in the world of Polish pottery. Using the intricate "punching" technique of hand stamping, highly skilled artists meticulously bring this pattern to life. Inspired by the beauty of nature, they blend an array of colors and designs to create a harmonious and eye-catching piece.

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!
