This Bunzlauer ceramic milk pitcher is a classic example of the time-honored ceramic art that originates from the Lower Silesian town of Bunzlau, today known as Bolesławiec in Poland. It features a simple yet elegant design, with a cream-colored base adorned with dark blue speckles. The upper rim of the pitcher is decorated with a dark blue stripe accompanied by a delicate green leaf garland and individual, centrally placed peacock eye motifs. These eye motifs are framed by concentric circles in colors that complement the main design.
The rounded body of the pitcher gently flares towards the top, leading to a smooth, slightly flared spout, while the opposing handle boasts a powerful dark blue that sets a strong accent and ensures comfortable handling. The inside of the pitcher is likely kept in a neutral white, matching the exterior design, which highlights the purity and freshness of its contents.
Cream pitchers like this have a long history dating back to the 17th century when they became popular in Europe. They were originally part of the tea service for the aristocracy and affluent citizens and were used for the cream traditionally served with tea or coffee. Bunzlauer ceramics are particularly known for their durability and distinctive decor. Typical of Bunzlauer pottery are the sponge-applied patterns, a technique that is still performed by hand to this day, making each piece unique. The motifs, often inspired by nature and folk traditions, carry cultural significance and make each pitcher a small piece of history.
Polish Pottery for over 150 years. The original with the castle featuring three towers.
