From a small workshop created by local craftsmen to a world-famous brand loved by royal families throughout Europe – the history of Ćmielów porcelain is material for a fascinating novel. The history of one of the oldest ceramic factories dates back to 1790, when local craftsmen decided to create a joint workshop. None of them imagined that their small manufacture would go down in Polish history, gaining fame in the country and then throughout Europe. Initially, Ćmielów craftsmen specialised in clay and faience products. Most of the designs were different from those we know today – warm colours and simple forms dominated. It was not until four decades later that porcelain production began in Ćmielów. Tableware, vases and other decorations quickly won the recognition of the elites and aristocrats of the time, including Prince Józef Poniatowski himself, and later aristocrats from abroad. The demand for miniature works of art was so great that Ćmielów porcelain was transported to Warsaw, then along the Vistula to Gdańsk, and then all over the world. Today, Ćmielów porcelain is still present on the tables of royal families, heads of state, as well as art collectors and lovers of the highest class of design. How Polish porcelain became synonymous with luxury

Parish Church in Ćmielów

Highlight • Religious Site

The lack of historical sources makes it impossible to provide an exact date of the foundation of the Ćmielów parish. The church itself was built in the early 14th century, although according to Father Jan Wiśniewski, the temple could have been built at the end of the 13th century. The 18th century inventory also gives 1313 as the date of the church's construction[2]. The foundation of the parish, which was established before 1326, should be connected with these dates of the church's construction.
