Other forms in use:

## About

Bolesławiec is a town on the Bóbr in Lower Silesian Voivodeship. It is internationally known for decorated stoneware pottery.

Bunzlau remains familiar in English and French discussion of the pottery tradition. Bolesławiec Śląski is a disambiguating expanded form, not a separate municipality.
