This is a hand-painted and chip-resistant pasta bowl that is 13” in diameter and 3” high. With its vivid blue and white design it is a great centerpiece. Each pattern will vary. Polish Pottery obtains their hand-painted stoneware directly from Boleslawiec, Poland. The colors are inspired by the blue, green, and earth tones of the peacock. All are made of indigenous white clay, and are fired at excess of 1350 degrees Celsius so that they retain both heat and cold for long periods of time. Including a pasta serving bowl in an Italian gift basket is a great idea.
