What Makes It Uncommon

While France, Italy, and Wisconsin are often synonymous with cheese, Poland stands proudly among the world's top 10 cheese producers. Traditional Polish pottery pieces like this one, also known as a Cheese Lady, elegantly safeguard partially eaten wedges and blocks, preserving their freshness while adorning kitchen counters with timeless charm. Although only the painter signs the piece, each kitchen keeper takes 12 days to create using centuries-old techniques passing through the hands of multiple artisans before it reaches you.

  • Includes a ceramic plate and hand-sculpted dome.
  • Hand-painted with a floral design inspired by the red poppies that grow all over Poland.
  • Designed to shelter a half stick of butter, soft cheeses, or partially eaten items like lemon and garlic for later use.
  • Measures 5.5"L x 5.5"W.
  • Designed by Jacek Kalich and Weronika Kalich and handmade in Poland.

Due to the handmade nature of this item, each is unique and will vary.

Jacek Kalich and Weronika Kalich

created by

Jacek Kalich and Weronika Kalich

Husband and wife Jacek and Weronika Kalich hail from Boleslawiec, Poland, the epicenter of Polish pottery making and a candidate for UNESCO World Heritage status. Jacek started the business in his garage with three artists but now employs 30. The process involves a sculptor creating a mold, hand-pouring clay, drying, smoothing, the first firing, cleaning, painting, glazing, a second firing, and packing. Each artisan meticulously handles a specific step before the pottery is shipped to America.

Usually ships within 24 hours.
