Bolesławiec pottery (English: BOLE-swavietz, Polish: [bɔlɛ'swavjɛt͡s]), also referred to as Polish pottery, is the collective term for fine pottery and stoneware produced in the town of Bolesławiec, in south-western Poland. The ceramics are characterized by a cobalt blue polka dot pattern on a white background or vice versa. The art originated in the late Middle Ages, but it fully developed in the 19th century and has continued ever since. Wikipedia →
