With a little care, they will outlast inferior products many times over. The renowned Boleslawiec pottery is possibly the most simultaneously beautiful, functional and highest quality stoneware that is commercially available in Australia. It is safe for use in the oven, microwave, dishwasher and freezer. No two pieces are absolutely identical. Nicholas Mosse pottery is one of Ireland's most famous handmade products. Currently they are one of very few Australian stockists with an extensive range of Polish Pottery and the only stockist of Nicholas Mosse.
