This striking UNIKAT Polish Pottery pretzel box features the richly detailed Peaceful Garden pattern, created as a Special Edition in 2008. The octagonal form is decorated with layered floral bands in cobalt, teal, green, and soft coral, accented by scrolling borders and intricate dot work. Inside the base, two stylized birds in flight add a charming hidden detail, while the domed lid is topped with a sculptural loop "pretzel" handle and matching bird motif.
Both decorative and functional, this lidded box is ideal for serving snacks, cookies, or sweets, or for use as a standout display piece in a curated Polish pottery collection.

This UNIKAT piece was hand-painted by Maria Starzyk, a respected Ceramika Artystyczna artist known for her balanced compositions, fine brushwork, and harmonious use of traditional Bolesławiec motifs. Her work is especially appreciated by collectors for its clarity of design and careful attention to detail, qualities that are evident throughout this special-edition piece.
