Jug 500 ml – 11 cm High – Polish Pottery

The 500 ml, 11 cm high Polish Pottery jug is a versatile and elegant ceramic pitcher handcrafted in Bolesławiec, the heart of traditional Polish stoneware.
With a half-liter capacity, this jug is perfectly sized for daily family use—large enough for several servings, yet compact and easy to handle.

Each jug is shaped and hand-painted using classic Ceramika Artystyczna techniques, making every piece unique.

 Durable and chip-resistant
 Heat-resistant – suitable for warm and cold liquids
 Lead-free and food-safe
 Scratch- and color-resistant
 Dishwasher- & microwave-safe (unless otherwise stated)
 Ergonomic, with a comfortable handle and smooth-pouring spout

The jug’s traditional Bunzlauer decoration makes it not only a practical kitchen tool, but also a beautiful decorative element on any table or shelf.
