I've been collecting Polish Pottery for around twenty years. My first piece was a coffee mug, purchased by my daughter as a Christmas gift for me. She and I worked at a local gift shop and they carried a few pieces of this beautiful pottery. She managed to buy it without me knowing it, I was truly surprised, and thus began my venture into the world of Polish Pottery.
There are many different patterns and I don't even try to stick to one pattern, I don't even know the names of the patterns but I know that they are all painted by hand and signed by the artist. I love that.
I store the ones that are not used every day in the china cabinet that belonged to my Mom. The glass doors and sides make it possible to view the contents from three sides.
I'm going to add little electric candles to the shelves so that the pottery is easier to see, and I love using candles anywhere I can. They use very little electricity and add such warmth to a grouping.
The everyday dishes are stored on open shelves in the kitchen where they can easily be reached when needed. I use them quite often and they are great to bake in and clean up so easily.
Needless to say, the beautiful color of blue goes well with the pewter that I love to collect and the two can be married to make a beautiful table.
I'm seriously considering adding these beauties to my shop, I'm looking into suppliers that will sell to small shops, I'll let you know when this comes about.
Well, that's all for now...
So, from my porch to yours...
Have a blessed new year.
