Boleslawiec
pottery started as local
folk art hundreds of years ago in Poland. The city is located near the German
and Czech border. This region has a history of pottery making since the 7th
century. Decorations were inspired by the peacock feather. The first pieces of
this durable and beautiful tableware were created by farmers in the region.
The pieces were created for their own use and to sell at market to earn extra
money. Polish craftspeople are recognized as producing some of the finest
pottery in Europe.
