New to the Crown Point area in the last year I think and easily found on the main square right next…read moreto Tavern on Main, I am so excited to be here at More Polish Pottery. A polish pottery collector on a mini scale having grown up with a mother that is a life long die hard collector (she grew up in NY where she went to a lot of bridal showers for girls she grew up with and they were all Polish and they received polish pottery as gifts), I was anxious and interested to pop into an actual store. I have only really Inherited from my mom or purchased online. Out west where I call home, nobody has heard of polish pottery let along would I be able to find a place that sells it....I mean "real deal" polish pottery, not some knock off from Pier One or something that simply looks like it. Lucy who greets us upon entering past the super cute Easter display in the window, appears to be the only one working today. She is young, charming, super sweet, knowledgeable and helpful. She quickly asks us and anyone who enters if they are familiar with Polish Pottery. And although I very much am, it was interesting to hear her share he passion for the product with newbies, encouraging the to explore. As I am telling my girlfriend who is with me that is uninitiated to polish pottery, you can throw it in the dishwasher, you can toss it in the frig or freezer, it is safe in the microwave or oven, chip and scratch resistant.....it is hearty stuff designed to last. It comes in an endless variety of patterns and colors and has functional pieces (plates, platters, cups, bakeware, casserole dish) and decorative pieces (holiday pieces, ring dishes, tiny bowls). And every piece is indeed handmade in Poland. There are different manufacturers, but it all comes from Poland. I am kind of seeking a certain bowl size to match some that I have at home, but am out of luck. They do not have the style I am seeking. Although Lucy is very quick to hand me a card with their email address, and if I send a picture of the bottom of the bowls I do have, they will check to see what they can find and maybe available elsewhere. This place has loads of stuff....dishes, cups, plates, cookware, decorative items, platters, trays....this stuff would be the perfect little gift for a wedding shower, girlfriend gift, "you deserve a gift today" treat. I walk out this day with two mugs and my girlfriend walks out with a ring dish. She has decided polish pottery is going to be her thing, to give as gifts to friends and family. It is unique and charming and did I mention....you can put it in the oven. Small pieces are probably $15-$20 and large pieces can be $75+ (the rarer the pattern and larger the pieces, the higher the price). But you will have it forever and like my own mother, you can pass it down to others. I am a fan and loved being in More Polish Pottery. I will return the next time I find myself in the area to visit with Lucy again, she was most helpful.
