Plate, Round, Salad, 8.5" in "Red Bird" by Manufaktura | T134T-GILE

Imagine a dish so delightful that even your salads, sandwiches, and sweet treats feel elevated when served upon it. Introducing the exquisite Polish Pottery 8.5" Salad Plate from Manufaktura, adorned with the charming "Red Bird" pattern. This plate isn't just a dish; it's a portal to a world of vibrant tradition and artistic excellence. Crafted in the heart of Boleslawiec, Poland, by skilled artisans, each plate features a playful dance of simple red birds, blue snowflakes, and a delicate evergreen wreath with red berries, all set against a crisp white background. It's a piece that promises not only to serve your food but also to start conversations and ignite admiration at your dining table.

The "Red Bird" pattern is more than just a pretty design; it's a testament to the enduring legacy of Polish craftsmanship. Using the traditional "punching" technique of hand stamping, artisans breathe life into the simple yet captivating motifs inspired by nature. Despite being categorized as a "Traditional" pattern—indicative of its widespread recognition and production—each plate boasts a unique charm, thanks to the slight variations introduced by the numerous artists who craft these patterns. The beauty of this process means that no two plates are exactly alike, allowing you to own a piece of art that is genuinely one-of-a-kind.

Not only is this Polish Pottery plate a feast for the eyes, but it's also built to last, with materials that are tough, durable, and chip-resistant. Whether it's a casual lunch or a festive dinner, this plate handles it all—dishwasher, microwave, freezer, and even oven safe (up to 425 degrees). Mix and match it with other patterns to create a stunning tableau that will impress your guests. Manufactured by Manufaktura, a leader in the pottery industry since 1992, this plate is a blend of award-winning design and practical functionality, ensuring that it holds a place of pride in your kitchen for years to come.

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!
