Know before you buy
While this stoneware is durable, it is best practice to allow the dish to reach room temperature before placing it in a hot oven to avoid thermal shock. Sudden temperature changes can potentially cause cracking in handmade ceramics.
Because every piece is individually hand-painted by artisans in Poland, there may be slight variations in the brushwork and pattern placement. These unique characteristics are a hallmark of authentic Polish pottery and ensure your baker is one-of-a-kind.
Yes, the high-fired stoneware finish is durable and resistant to scratching. However, using silicone or wooden utensils is generally recommended to keep the hand-painted surface looking pristine over many years of use.
Absolutely. The baker is designed with an 'oven-to-table' aesthetic, meaning it is intended to serve as both your cooking vessel and a decorative serving piece. We recommend using a trivet to protect your table surface from the heat.
Yes, stoneware is excellent at heat retention. Once you remove the dish from the oven, it will keep your casserole or roasted vegetables warm for an extended period while you serve your guests.
