Collection: Vena

Ceramika Artystyczna Vena

 is a Polish pottery workshop located in Bolesławiec known for its durable, hand-decorated stoneware. A family-owned business, it is distinguished by a style that gives a fresh, modern twist to traditional folk art designs.

  • Origin: Founded in Brzeg, approximately 100 miles east of Bolesławiec, Vena is a relatively smaller and newer producer compared to older Bolesławiec factories.
  • Production: Each piece is handmade and decorated by artisans. They use traditional sponge-stamping methods as well as brushes to create more intricate "Unikat" designs.
  • Durability and safety: Vena pottery is glazed and high-fired to be extremely durable, resistant to chipping, and safe for use in the oven, microwave, freezer, and dishwasher.
  • Artistic style: The company is particularly noted for its colorful and intricate floral decorations, which offer a unique aesthetic within the Polish pottery tradition.

Vena's designs range from standard patterns to highly detailed and artistic "Unikat" pieces.

  • Floral designs: The pottery is renowned for its vibrant, multi-colored floral patterns.
  • Figurines: Vena also creates collectible figurines, such as holiday ornaments and other decorative items.
  • Specialty items: The company is known for unique pieces like the loop-handled "Rooster Madness" bowl and a smiling "Face Jar" designed as a garlic keeper.
  • Unikat patterns: Some of Vena's more elaborate and signed Unikat patterns include "Floral Dream," "Retro Garden," and "Aztec Flower".
