As an active ceramic centre with many hundred years old tradition, the Bolesławiec area is famous for its stoneware appreciated for both its usefulness as well as its artistic values. The local clay contains a great deal of flux, first of all silicon, feld-spar and at times kaolin impurities. The ceramics madę of it, provided the sintering temperaturę is between 1100 and 1300 ?C, has a dense, durable and partially yetrified structure. It is resistant to temperature, moisture, as well as to chemical and mechanical influences.
The fifty years of existence and work of the design department in the Bolesławiec plant have significantly contributed to the development of ceramic forms. The artistic output of the Bolesławiec team will surely serve the next generations. There are new patterns being created.
Next to the most frequent ornament, the traditional eye of a peacock's tail-like pattern, there is also a whole range of new ones loosely referring to their predecessors: patches or strips. Forms decorated with cobald are the most predominant and popular ones. These are the products the plant can pride itself on. Light blue is the most frequently applied colour but more and more desirable are also greens, browns and reds.
