Our Best Selling Patterns

16/8/2023

0 Comments

 
Many Boleslawiec pottery patterns are traditional patterns which are used by every manufacturer in Boleslawiec. Newer patterns reference traditional themes and motifs and all use a particular colorway which enables effortless mixing and matching across patterns and manufacturers.
Here is a snapshot of the designs that are currently our top sellers. You might be able to predict some but be totally surprised at others.

This is possibly the most famous of the traditional Boleslawiec patterns. Its nickname is the peacock because of the stylizing taken from the peacock tail. People who are encountering Polish crockery for the first time will often point to a piece in this pattern and declare, “I like this pattern,” illustrating its broad appeal. Many other patterns are variations of this classic. The two patterns below (U72 and D8) are also very popular versions of this traditional pattern.

Spots and dots in one guise or another feature in many patterns. These two patterns
​(D41 and O13) are so well-loved that we stock the same patterns from two manufacturers - can you spot (no pun intended) the difference between the two versions shown below?

More dots .... (O10 and D42)

Y​ou can see how all these patterns make eye-catching, complementary, mix and match sets.
Other customers are drawn to prettier patterns. These two best sellers (O63 and O2) are often chosen together. Both the stylized five-petal flowers and the small berries appear in various forms in many other patterns.

Blueberries appear as a featured motif and as part of more intricate designs. We have a number of blueberry patterns but this one (D1208) was an instant hit as soon as it was placed on our shelves. It’s the one design we have which I consider looks as nice on its own (or better) as it does in a mixed design set.

The rich, strong colours of this design (U9) are so striking that even people who enter the shop declaring their love for simple blue and white patterns often walk out with a piece in this pattern. The variations that come with being handmade are more obvious in the more intricate patterns. Sometimes U9 seems predominantly blue but at other times the green will stand out, or even the red. Other pieces will have a more pastel appearance.

But there are times when the calming effect of this very simple pattern (O65), which goes with everything else, is just what you need.
