Polish Pottery Soup or Cereal Bowl

We finally have a great selection of GU1152 Polish Pottery Soup/Cereal Bowls back in stock! They come either painted in the inside (my favorite), or painted only on the outside (a bit cheaper). Of course, I have expensive taste. Not only do I like the bowls painted on the inside, I also prefer the Unikat pieces:

This is an ART116 Polish Pottery Soup Bowl, and I love the royal blue flowers!

While I love the bright blues (and florals in particular), I'm actually VERY attracted the non-traditional Polish Pottery patterns. Well, in truth...rusty red WAS a traditional Polish Pottery color (in the earliest pieces), but today, Polish Stoneware is most notable for its kobalt blue theme. I have an obsession with rusty red patterns, however.

Here is an ART113 Polish Pottery Soup Bowl that I love:

And last, but not least, I REALLY love this Ballina pattern. My love of this pattern surprised me when I first saw it 2 years ago, but it has stayed in my top favorites ever since!

Daisy Polish Pottery Dinner Plate

We're currently at my sister's house in Georgia, and my sister's Polish Pottery Stoneware pattern of choice is Daisy!

When she was getting married, she made a Wedding Registry on our website, and therefore collected a beautiful assortment of Polish dinnerware, as well as some great bowls and bakers. All of her dinnerware is in the Daisy pattern, but she has other great Unikat patterns, as well (she has good taste)!

I have to admit...Daisy is a beautiful pattern, and ranks up there in my top favorites!

Unfortunately/Fortunately...my list is always growing! So it's getting a bit complicated to determine what my absolute favorite patterns are, nowadays! But once upon a time, I remember thinking Daisy was #1!

I made some fantastic Black Bean burgers with homemade buns tonight.
The buns and burgers were both soooo tiny, that our traditional Polish dinner plate dwarfed these palm-sized burgers!

But this way, we didn't feel guilty going back for seconds!

Banana Bread

There are very few things that can improve the taste of Banana Bread (already glorious, in and of itself!)...but this Polish Pottery loaf baker did it for us! Call me biased for thinking that Polish Pottery bakers make everything taste better...but seriously...when your eyes are fed TOO...I think it is double the pleasure!

I've always worried over the years that this loaf baker is too large for typical loafs, but I was proved wrong when I used my sister's Blue Horizon Loaf Baker (Zaklady Unikat pattern ART108) to make this yummy loaf:

For those who prefer longer, more slender loafs, we have some 12.25" Polish Stoneware Loaf Bakers. I think these slender bakers would be great for cooking up some fancy loafs to slice for appetizers at a party!

Polish Pottery for the Holidays

I admit...I'm still posting photos from Thanksgiving...because the food looked amazing!

We used the Zaklady Polish Pottery Deep Baker with Handles (GU1345) to hold all of our turkey carvings:

A medium-sized Polish Pottery pitcher held our homemade gravy:

A small Polish Stoneware baker held our steamed fresh green beans (yummy)!:

And what Thanksgiving would be complete without crab? Oh wait--MINE would!

However, years ago my sister and her husband decided to start their own Thanksgiving traditions. Not being the biggest Turkey fans, they decided that they would have crab and steak for their "traditional" Thanksgiving dinner.

So, with my sister's family, my family, and our parents together for Thanksgiving this year, we had quite the assortment of "traditional" food. We cooked up a turkey for my Dad (half of us are vegans--and I must admit I cheated a TAD to have some!), and my sister and her husband brought crab (skipping the steak, due to an overwhelming amount of food, as it was).

They used a GU879 Polish Pottery Pie Plate to hold their clippings (is that what you call them? I don't eat seafood!), and small Polish Pottery bowls to hold their butter dip.
