Artistic Polish Pottery
-- Connecticut and Massachusetts
Artistic Polish Pottery specializes in Boleslawiec Polish Pottery from the factory of Ceramika Artystyczna. We are an Internet-based company located in Connecticut. Monthly specials and bridal registry are available. I started collecting Polish Pottery 10 years ago. As my collection grew, I realized how much I enjoyed the variety of patterns that were offered and decided to offer the merchandise to others. Thus, Artistic Pottery was founded in the year 2000 as the result of my passion for the handmade stoneware. I have been serving Connecticut and Massachusetts residents for over 4 years with quality Ceramika Artystyczna Polish Pottery Stoneware. For more information about the pottery, see our Pottery Page. One of my favorite items are the dinner plates. I recommend this bowl for serving guests. Are you looking for the perfect gift? Look no more! Take a look in our Specialty Items. Don't forget to check out where Artistic Polish Pottery will be next in the Upcoming Events section. JoAnna Savona |

Ceramica Arte, Inc. -- Thousand Oaks, California, USA
"Welcome to Ceramica Arte's website, where you will find an eclectic selection of Boleslawiec handcrafted pottery. Boleslawiec, the ancient Silesian town of Bunzlau is renowned for its expertly produced stoneware, and is known as the "town of good clay." The origins of Boleslawiec pottery date back to the 17th century. This pottery ordered then by nobility featured heraldic crests and insignia applied to the brown ware in the form of molded relief. This type of high-fired earthenware flourished into the 19th century, in the form of fancy wares and utilitarian brown slip storage and cooking vessels. At the end of the 19th century, brown slip was replaced by rich, vibrant blue, green and orange colors applied by the punch (stamp) technique. The sponge decorations featured a range of motifs derived from folk art and art nouveau (Jugendstil). The most representative was the peacock's eye ( Pfauenauge), a trademark of Boleslawiec pottery to this day. Paying homage to classic designs, Boleslawiec pottery combines contemporary colors, practicality and durability of every day pottery. With the simplicity of design and the compatibility of patterns, these pieces are destined to be mixed and matched with one another in almost any décor. We hope that our website will inspire you to create your own decorative look. Our goal is to provide service of the same high quality, as we demand of our products. We hope that you find the site easy to use, do feel free to get in touch with us by phone, fax, or email with any questions or concerns."
