Bring a burst of Polish farmhouse charm to your kitchen with this hand-painted 101 oz. Pickle Jar from Ceramika Kalich of Bolesławiec, Poland.

Designed for the traditional water seal method. What is the Water Seal Method?

The water seal method is a traditional way of fermenting foods like pickles, sauerkraut, kimchi, and other vegetables using a water-filled barrier to create the perfect fermentation environment.

In short:

  • Vegetables stay submerged. Oxygen stays out. Carbon dioxide can escape

That’s exactly what good fermentation needs. This method was widely used in Central and Eastern Europe for sauerkraut and pickles long before modern jars existed.

All the new Polish Pottery we sell is Quality 1.

Each piece is meticulously hand crafted and hand painted by skilled artists in Boleslawiec Poland ensuring that every item is a unique work of art.

The high firing temperature (1250 degrees C) results in a beautiful shiny glaze and exceptional durability.

Polish Pottery is microwave, oven & dishwasher safe. It is chip-resistant and made to be used and enjoyed for years to come.

Please note: Any white dots you may see are from my camera - not defects in the painting.
