What is a "Unikat" Decoration ?

Specialty pieces from the artists are called 'Unikat' meaning "unique" in Polish. These pieces are painted with a Unique pattern or decoration which is only painted and signed by the designing artist. There are only 15 Unikat artists at Ceramika Artystyczna. Artists must gain the experience and recognition of their work to enjoy the privilege to design, paint and sign their own work. These 15 Artists have won world wide recognition of their work and have earned many awards for their art in pottery. The decorations created by these outstanding artists are more complex in design and require a great deal of artistic skill to paint. Only the designing artist controls the production of his/her own designs, limiting its production and availability. Only the designing artist can paint these outstandingly complex designs. These designs are called "Unikat" or Unique decorations.

"Unikat" Decorations are classified into two categories based on the complexity of the design. The High End Unikat decorations are the more complicated designs. These designs often have the added addition of hand brush painting in addition to complex stamping patterns and as a result they demand a higher price. There are fewer High End Unikat decorations than other decorations.

Unikat orders can require more time to be made by the 15 artists who create the Unikat decorated items. A Unikat decoration is only painted by the designing artist making the pattern Unique to that artist. These signed pieces are in high demand and the artists are Very Busy filling this demand. These Unikat items are definitely worth the wait ! Want to order your favourite Unikat decoration on your favourite Ceramika product ?
