HISTORY OF THE STONEWARE
The present high quality of Boleslawiec pottery comes from centuries of work by local artisans. The first known pieces date back to the 16th century and were crafted in the Renaissance style. Later, the decoration was put underneath the glazes. Frederick the Great, King of Prussia had his own initial and crown decorating his personal "Polish Pottery".
In the beginning of the 19th century, "china" became a sign of wealth and luxury. Local craftsmen were urged to discontinue or alter the traditional folk art patterns to better resemble fashionable china with its elaborate and elegant motifs. Most of the manufacturers resisted and retained the original well-established folk-art designs.
