The Opole pattern painted on porcelain actually derives from “kroszonka” – that is, eggs decorated with engraving technique in Opole Silesia before Easter. In the 1960s, in order to perpetuate and preserve this fragile folk legacy of “kroszonka”, this pattern was transferred to cups and porcelain. In the “PRL” time in Poland in Cepelia shops the entire country could find these traditional products from the Opole region. Today, as part of the Opolskie Dziouchy project, we want to return to this traditional method of decorating porcelain, but in a slightly newer-modern form. Therefore, the mugs are mostly of one color, and the painted pattern in white refers to the original form – that is, to the “kroszonka”. Even with traditional white porcelain, this traditional “Opole” pattern is “modernized” with every creative step.
