safe. Each piece is handmade in Poland.
I thought about it because on The Foundary this morning, they have Polish Pottery. It's not cheap: Prices range on sale from $32 to $77 depending on size. But if you have someone to buy for, like a mother who has everything, this would be a beautiful unique Mother's Day or birthday gift. Or treat yourself. The pieces on The Foundary are vibrant blues:
You have to see it in person to appreciate the work that must have gone into each piece. (You lucky ducks in Melbourne FL have a Polish Pottery outlet store.)

I used to live in Germany (military), so had opportunities to purchase the pottery while there. I got them mainly at the military exchanges. The patterns change throughout the year, so if you have a set of one pattern and a piece breaks, you might be lucky to obtain a replacement piece of that same pattern.
What I did was to pick one main color and intermix the pieces with different, yet more subtler patterns, that way I could buy virtually anything from their open stock.
If you Google "Polish Pottery" you will indeed find a number of merchants here in the U.S., but unless you buy an item they have on sale, they're not cheap to begin with. The vendor has to pay customs and shipping.
If you can save up for it, you will find it's WELL WORTH the time it takes to acquire a set of serving pieces, dinner setting for 4,-8,-12,- whatever your fancy. Don't forget the accessories and equally beautiful cheese plate with a domed damsel cover; that is basically their trademark piece. The patterns are numerous, so there's plenty to mix and match.
Hope this helps.....
