Polish Pottery



Glad we have Polish Pottery in our shop.  It is really bringing in the customers!  Just take a look at how colorful it is. 

Polish Pottery, originating from Poland, is available at Wilmot Heritage Antiques & Gifts. This pottery is made from white clay that has been fired twice at high temperatures. This ensures that the pottery is durable and functional for everyday use. It is safe to use as it is lead and cadmium free. Polish Pottery is safe to use in the microwave, the oven, and can even go into the dishwasher.  These pieces of pottery are nice for baking and are a great way to serve food to guests with its elegant designs. Polish Pottery comes in many different sizes, whether it is needed for casseroles, desserts or the main course!

Peacock Designs

The pottery designs are made by using hand stamping and sponge stencils.  Pieces are created with different patterns. The designs are based on the eye of the peacock feather, the peacock being a sign of prosperity and wealth. The circles and dots in blues and greens are colors and shapes found in the peacock feathers.



Newer designs are becoming more complicated, using more shapes and colors with each design.  They are requiring more artistic skills.  Considering the skills needed to create the designs and the many functions of the stoneware, these pieces are valued collectibles to hand down through the generations.

Parties and Gatherings
Since they each have blues, greens and reds in the designs it is easy to mix-and-match patterns to create unique collections to use for dinner parties or family gatherings.
