History: Six years ago, owner, Laurie Walhovd turned her lifelong love of Polish Stoneware into a successful
online business. With a lot of love, very little money and a belief in herself and the beauty and practicality of
Polish Pottery, JazzySadies.com was born. Laurie’s belief in combining exceptional, personalized online
customer service, with a beautiful quality product resulted in the success of the online business.
Laurie had always dreamed of a retail showroom, a place where the exquisite stoneware could be displayed
to give everyone the opportunity to truly experience the beauty of Polish Pottery. In February of 2006, Jazzy-
Sadie’s Showroom was established.

The Stoneware: For centuries the old world technique of creating Polish Stoneware designs has been
passed down through the generations. By carefully cutting nature inspired shapes from dried sea sponges,
each artist applies their designs in a continuous stamping rhythm until each pattern layer is complete. Intricate
brushwork is applied in the more complicated patterns such as the Unikat, (unique) or Signature series
line of patterns of which the U4 designs are considered the most detailed. Every decorated selection of
stoneware reflects the inspiration of the artist at the moment it is being created; the resulting patterns will
hold variations making each and every piece its own unique creation.
The stoneware is formed from a white clay exclusive to the Silesian region of Poland with a unique lead free
glazing which is applied and then fired in coal and gas ovens at temperatures in excess of 2000 degrees
centigrade. This process creates non-toxic and durable stoneware pieces that are safe for use in the oven,
microwave and dishwasher and are impervious to abrasives. This extremely durable stoneware will not crack
or chip easily, will cook evenly, hold heat and cold for longer periods of time and will clean up easily...Elegant
yet practical!
