About Polish Pottery

Boleslawiec, the renowned Polish pottery town, boasts a rich history dating back thousands of years, with its remarkable pottery created by artisans tracing roots to 6,000 B.C. Despite facing significant challenges, the artisans of Boleslawiec have persevered, making it one of the world's premier pottery producers.

About UNIKAT

 “Hand made in Poland” at the bottom of the vessel. UNIKAT pieces have an additional “UNIKAT” stamp to indicate that it is a unique piece. In addition, it features the piece’s pattern number and the artist’s initials, or full name, depending on the quality level of the UNIKAT vessel.

Signature UNIKAT Polish pottery of the highest level of artistry. It is created by extremely talented artists who enjoy the privilege of working on their designs from beginning to end. Thus, these pieces are very limited, and each of them is a remarkable work of art with fine designs.

Instead of just initials, the artists sign the pieces using their full names. Also, the pieces are incredibly unique as they are hand-made and reflect the style and inspiration of a particular artist.

UNIKAT LEVELS  Unikat starts with u3. U being for unikat of course. Ceramika Artystyczna has three "normal" levels of unikat patterns. Those are U3, U4 and U5. Years ago, U4 was the highest level and commanded the highest price. Things have definitely changed and many patterns you may be used to collecting have probably changed categories in recent times. 

Thersa Andrukiewicz My artistic inspiration stems mainly from watching nature, whereas my imagination allows me to arrange green twigs and colorful flowers in various forms. Ali projects are born suddenly and unexpectedly. They can be stimulated by practically everything from a decorative plant to a beautiful landscape. Artistic activity requires freedom, but pottery, as the material, has certain limits. A good designer is able to realize their free vision in a clear, specific and concrete manner. This is the ideal I am striving to attain.

Anna Pasierbiewicz- My first attempts of creating new designs were projects of painting by colour deposit glazing's. In 1975 at the initiative of current main technologist Andrzej Skowroński and laboratory assistant Urszula Jałowska, the stamps decorating by hand were introduced to the Cooperative.   I was inspired not only by the need to create new patterns but also enrich the pattern-designing with stamp and painting combinations. Owing to this enterprise the Cooperative has recruited a number of lovers of unique decorations.

Danuta Knapik For me the art of decorating pottery vessels is a chance for moving to the land of my childhood spent in the truly wonderful Polish countryside. This experience has influenced my whole life. I have become receptive to the beauty of nature, and the close communion with nature has provoked me to deal with art.

Janina Palka-She has been connected with Artistic Handicraft Cooperative 'Artistic Ceramics and Pottery' since 1989 and became a pattern designer in 1994.

Zofia Superniak-Patterns I design flow from the nature teeming with life that surrounds me, its beauty and unaffectedness. But the greatest impulse for creating new auteur ideas comes from my grandchildren. Their play in the garden in summer, walking with them in the forest in fall, fairytales I read to them in the long winter evenings all this can inspire me in a very special way to work art and create fanciful compositions.

Weronika Budlandczyk-In my work as a pattern designer I find most inspiration in the incessant combination of the tradition and the novelty. After all stoneware is a material of strictly defined decoration canons. However, what I find interesting is enriching traditional patterns with modern motives for this may result in a truly original and unique decoration
