Large Belly Mug is not only a feast for the eyes but also a marvel of functionality.

Hand-painted by the skilled artisans of Boleslawiec, Poland, each mug showcases the traditional art of Polish pottery through the "punching" technique of hand stamping. This method allows for vibrant, nature-inspired patterns that are unique to each piece, owing to the slight variations introduced by different artists. Not only is each mug a work of art, but it's also built to last, with high-quality materials that ensure durability and resistance to chipping. Plus, it's completely safe for use in the microwave, dishwasher, oven (up to 425 degrees), and even the freezer, making it as practical as it is pretty.

Since 1950, Ceramika Artystyczna has stood at the forefront of Polish ceramic art, earning international acclaim for both the quality and beauty of their creations. Known affectionately as "CA," this cooperative of talented artists offers an impressive array of over 3,500 patterns and more than 1,000 forms. Each piece, like our delightful "Cat Tracks" belly mug, is a testament to the craftsmanship and tradition that define Polish pottery. Whether you're adding to your collection or starting anew, this mug is sure to brighten your day and your table, proving itself a conversation starter and a cherished piece 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!
