DU-201

Dreamlike Floral Artistry That Defies Nature

The DU-201 decoration is one of our most enigmatic patterns. This unique design features flowers that exist somewhere between reality and imagination.

The blooms resist easy identification, appearing neither as familiar dandelions nor delicate mimosa. Instead, they create an otherworldly garden that captivates collectors and casual admirers alike.

Each flower in the DU-201 pattern displays intricate petals and stems that seem to dance across the ceramic surface. The artistic interpretation moves beyond botanical accuracy to create something more evocative.

These mysterious blossoms might remind viewers of childhood drawings or half-remembered dreams. The pattern's charm lies precisely in this ambiguity, allowing each observer to project their own associations onto the design.

Master Craftsmanship Through Traditional Polish Techniques

Zakłady Ceramiczne "BOLESŁAWIEC" produces every DU-201 decorated piece using time-honored methods. Skilled artists apply each decoration by hand using traditional stamps and brushes.

This process ensures that no two pieces are identical, creating inherent uniqueness in every item.

The Stamping Process

Artisans begin with carefully carved stamps that capture the essential elements of each flower. These tools transfer the basic pattern structure onto unfired pottery.

The stamping technique requires precise pressure and placement to achieve consistent quality. Master potters train for years to develop the steady hand needed for this delicate work.

Hand-Painted Details

Following the initial stamping, artists add intricate details with fine brushes. This step brings the flowers to life through subtle color variations and delicate linework. Each brushstroke contributes to the overall harmony of the design.

The hand-painting process can take several hours per piece, depending on size and complexity.

High-Temperature Firing for Durability

After decoration and glazing, each piece undergoes a second firing at extremely high temperatures. This crucial step bonds the decoration permanently to the ceramic body.

The firing process also ensures color stability and resistance to fading over time. The resulting pottery withstands daily use while maintaining its artistic integrity.

Versatile Applications Across Ceramic Collections

The DU-201 decoration appears across an extensive range of Bolesławiec pottery items. This versatility makes it possible to create complete table settings or accent pieces that complement existing collections.
