This enchanting piece, expertly handcrafted in the historic town of Boleslawiec, Poland, features a dance of vibrant flowers set against a soothing blue backdrop.

The "Mums the Word" pattern exemplifies the traditional Polish pottery style, known for its accessible beauty and robust functionality.

As this pattern falls under the 'Traditional' category, it enjoys an unlimited production run, allowing a diverse group of artists to contribute their interpretations. Thus, each bowl not only serves as a functional piece for dips and condiments but also stands as a unique work of art, varying subtly in detail and hue from its counterparts.

It is safe for use with food and beverages, and resilient enough to handle the dishwasher, microwave, freezer, and oven (up to 425 degrees). Durable, chip-resistant, and devoid of lead, nickel, or cadmium, this bowl is as practical as it is pretty. Whether used daily or displayed as part of a collection, it promises to bring a splash of color and a touch of European elegance to any setting.

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!
