I have an enormous crush on Polish Pottery. It's so expensive. So, any guru's out there? What's the inside scoop? Where to buy it? Deals? Knockoffs? I'm researching like mad online..
I am Polish and only have one piece from a friend who used to live in Germany and traveled by some. She got it at a decent price there, but I doubt it's worth it to fly over ;)
Costco! It was probably about 6 months ago that my local Costco had a huge display and tons of pieces, but they were all gorgeous and obviously a great price!
I've bought some of my pottery in Krakow, Poland (very cheap!) some on ebay, and some from www.bluerosepottery.com (not cheap but good quality!). Also I keep an eye out for it at TJ Maxx, Ross, and Tuesday Morning. I only buy it if it looks good with my patterns. I collect the flowering peacock pattern. Here's a post I did about it: http://posypocket.blogspot.com/2010/06/polish-pottery.html
I highly recommend polish pottery, it is very good quality and has so many special memories for me of being in Poland :)
I love my Polish pottery, buying most of it in Bolleslawiec, Poland where it is unbelievably cheap. Buying it in Germany was about three times expensive when I lived there. Now that I'm stateside, I pick up pieces at Home Goods, TJ Maxx or Marshall's. There is also a vendor selling Polish pottery at the CHristkindlemarket in Chicago every year. Prices are significantly higher, but you will find quite a variety of pieces. the market runs from Thanksgiving to Christmas.

Casey, i too saw that, but of course when i went back to look they were gone :(
My TJ Maxx, Marshalls, & HomeGoods have some!
My mom collects polish pottery! She has found a lot of great pieces at both Marshals and The Christmas Tree Shoppe. Good luck on your search!
I second TJ Maxx and Homegoods...my mom loves it so I usually spot it pretty easily and have had success multiple times at bothplaces!
