Christmas eve when is around the corner and as always, it demands a festive atmosphere and rich detailing. Care to find out why polish pottery might be the perfect way to achieve it? Then keep reading.

This special time of the year aims for a few simple things, like slowing down a little bit, being with our family, and reflecting on life. It is common to live in a rush in today’s world, making these seemingly easy things difficult to achieve. But hey, it is said that practice makes us perfect!

Since you already know that polish pottery handmade mug or polish pottery handcrafted butter dish or even colourful ceramic salad bowl might be an ideal present, let me simply point your sight to a few simple BCV crafts that will help you prepare a perfect festive table for Christmas eve and two later days.

Just remember what I pointed out in the previous paragraph, that this festive time is about slowing down and having joy with your closest ones, not about constant rush and trying to achieve perfection.

Here are a few interesting ideas:

1. Hand-painted ceramic cups and saucers

Hot drinks should be served in an elegant glass, but such container should not be fully white – white is the most clod color there is, and speaking for myself, in the middle of the winter, I’m having enough cold already. I also think that during wintertime, dishes with many colors are just better than, for example, a cup painted wholly on red – it just cheers me up, I can’t help it. And I bet that you won’t be able to help it either.

2. Colorful ceramic teapots and warmers

Speaking about warmth, there is no better way to feel it than an afternoon coffee or tea with close family members, especially when the tea is kept warm by a colorful warmer! I truly think that the picture will prove it way more than my words will ever do:

3. Ceramic candle holders

Another fiery place that provides warmth and style on the table. In Poland, Christmas eve simply cannot be held without candles that are put on both the left and right of the little altar on the edge of the table. In my home, my parents use long and high holders made of brass, but I very much prefer the colored ones. Maybe I just found a present idea myself?

4. Hand-painted butter dishes

Yet another association with warmth, though a very distant one -such dishes allows to keep the butter warm, and for me, there are not many more annoying things than cold butter. I do realize that not every family eats bread on the Christmas eve table, but point me one that doesn’t during later days breakfasts. These colorful pieces will cheer you up from the very morning!

5. Ceramic bowls

The hand-painted design of colourful pasta bowls give Boleslawiec Pottery an unforgettable expression, one that can win the hearts of many of your friends or family members and for sure pottery admirers. They also make excellent Christmas or other occasions gift ideas as a great addition to their tableware or kitchen decor.

6. Others

The above ideas are just the beginning. I truly believe that all of our polish pottery stoneware dishes could find the place on the Christmas table, and it gives me a lot of joy, just as having Christmas family time should give you. Enough speaking then, just go and make it special!
