So what is Polish pottery anyway? In simple terms, it’s high-quality, handmade stoneware from Boleslawiec, Poland. To create this pottery, a variety of techniques are used. Polish pottery is made from local white clay that consists of a unique chemical composition. The result is clay that is much more dense and durable. Each piece is completely safe to use in the dishwasher, oven, microwave, and freezer. They are lead and cadmium-free, and regularly FDA-tested.
Because of the manner of design, each piece truly is unique. The colors are rich and vibrant and because cobalt blue is the cornerstone of most designs, all patterns look great together, even if they are different. You should not feel like you have to pick just one pattern. Part of the fun is being able to get any pattern you want while knowing that they will all look great together. You will see this for yourself as you browse around our site.

If you scroll down you will find a number of resources. These resources will take you off this site. However, they are worth exploring and are owned and operated by us, not a third party. First is our collection of videos. This will grow over time and we may not link them all here. There is a dedicated Private Facebook page (Polish Pottery Master Class) and YouTube channel where you can explore various topics. We even have a private Facebook page (Polish Pottery Supper Club) where we pretty much show off all our delicious food dishes on Polish Pottery. How can you go wrong talking about food and pottery? You will also find links to our main store (Pacific Polish Pottery) where you can explore what we have for sale in various shapes and styles.
I am one of the oldest retailers of Polish pottery in the country. And I’m not talking about including the time that I was collecting. I’ve been in the business of importing since 2000. I started with personal shopping in the very beginning and moved into both retail and wholesale. While there have been a few ups and downs along the way, I cannot imagine doing anything else. I was also the very first Polish Pottery blogger. Some of you might remember that blog, which was called Pottery Monster. Years later when I opened my brick-and-mortar in Winter Park, Florida I called it by the same name. We no longer run that store and we have all but retired that name but it still holds a special place with me.
