I love this Polish stoneware!
On Saturday we stopped by Renditions
a wonderful Polish Pottery shop in Weston.
I got to pick out a piece,
but I can't show you what it is, yet.
Cuz it's supposed to be for the #*#* anniversary of my 25th birthday,
which is coming up in the sorta-soon-ish-future.
And I'm not allowed to look at it again until that day.
In fact it's all wrapped up and in a bag.
So I'll have to show you later.
Anyway, I don't know very much about Polish pottery,
except that it's all hand stamped/painted in Boleslawiec, Poland
using the traditional folk art patterns of the region.
There are so many beautiful patterns and fun pieces to choose from!
Which one would you have picked?
What beautiful pottery. I've never seen that before.
ReplyDeleteI love Polish pottery too, and have a couple of small traditional pieces. I have never seen such a fantastic selection of designs and patterns as these!
ReplyDeleteLucky you to have chosen something - I wouldnt know which one to choose!
Look forward to seeing your choice, and Happy Birthday to you!

Wow those are lovely i would have picked the orange, blue and green flowered plate and matching sugat bowl. dee x
ReplyDeleteI have a friend who lives just outside of the town of Quimper in Brittany (the motherlode for all collectors of french faience!) and loves Polish pottery like this!
ReplyDeleteNever ceases to makes me chuckle when I see her collection.
Looking forward to seeing your special piece.
Looks like a fun place to visit! Looking forward to seeing what you got... I love the covered hen, middle row, far right:@)
ReplyDeleteI haven't seen this pottery before but I love the rabbits and the small orange and blue dishes.
ReplyDeleteI'm rather smitten with those large bowls and those rabbits. I can't wait to see what you picked out! How fun.
ReplyDeleteLooks like a wonderful shop full of beautiful treasures!
ReplyDeleteSo pretty..I love the rabbits and the little bundles of flowers are so pretty!
ReplyDeleteI am looking forward to seeing what lovely thing you got from there..very curious :)

No doubt about it, fourth photo, bottom baking dish, with a cover would be nice. Happy Birthday . . . Excited to see the piece and know your day . . . What a young one you are!
ReplyDeleteI've always like Polish Pottery! What a great store - I would have gone a little crazy there. Can't wait to see what piece you got. I like the patterns that have a bit of red, or is it orange, in them.

Are those ladies, butter dishes? Too cute. There is a Polish pottery store here in St Louis, I may have to check it out!
ReplyDeleteWe have 6 cups and saucers that were made in Poland. Two are in the blue and cream and four have more green and black. Hubby actually found them - somebody was going to throw them away! They are all hand painted and really pretty, so I don't know why somebody wouldn't want them...
ReplyDeleteI love that pottery too. I am Polish so I think my love stems from that. I found a cute jug at the thrift store. Snatched it up for only $3. Can't wait to see your piece.
ReplyDeleteI'd go nuts in a shop like that! I love every piece you've shown!
ReplyDeleteSuch beautiful pottery!! I love the hens and the sweet girls!! Can't wait to see what you chose!! xo Heather
ReplyDeleteOhhhhh, right off I would pick one of those covered chicken dishes! But they are all so pretty. I like the basket bowls as well. I am so anxous to see what you got and what pattern it is in!
ReplyDeleteOh My Goodness! I would never get out of that place without spending a fortune! I love these!

Can hardly wait to see your birthday gift, Gayle! I love Polish pottery!
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh, you have a lot of willpower...to KNOW what you picked out, and yet have it in a bag, wrapped out and won't bring it out until your ANNIVERSARY of your 25th birthday (tee,hee, that is funny)
ReplyDeleteAll those pieces are amazing. I would have a horrible time trying to pick just one piece.
I love polish pottery and have quite a few pieces. I just use the serving pieces not the regular dishes as I use Blue Willow for regular. I can't believe how many beautiful designs there are. It can be quite pricey but I think it is worth it.
ReplyDeleteI did find some in TJ Maxx one day and couldn't buy it fast enough We have a lot of Polish folks in our area. Don't know if that it why it is fairly easy to find.
Looking forward to seeing what you choose.
I bet you could tablescape with the best of 'em! Those pieces are so sturdy looking, is the little girl covered dish for butter? There aren't a lot of Poles here in Scandinavian land so I don't know about that kind of pottery. I love learning about new things because it never fails, I'll go somewhere and see it after I read it on a blog! Such will power, hidden in a bag, he'd have to take it in his car at my house to keep me from peeking! Smile.

Those are beautiful pieces. I loved the lady covered piece.
ReplyDeletexo,

This stuff is amazing! How could you pick just one or two? I would need a little of everything.
ReplyDeleteThey are all beautiful, I would be happy with any one of them.
ReplyDeleteI've never seen this pottery before. I love the bunnies. How fun.
ReplyDeleteI just can't wait to see your special piece!

Do you know I spied the very same Polish pottery here in France in a central town shop and I stared and stared and, dare I add, lusted at the shelves of intricate blue patterns. They are all beautiful but I had a soft spot for the little folk and rabbits.
ReplyDeleteI wonder which you chose...

I LOVE Polish pottery! I don't have any, but have always admired it. I don't know how I could choose just one though. It would have to be a chicken :) or maybe a pie plate or other serving piece. Happy 25th birthday ;) Mine is June 5th!
ReplyDeleteWOW VERY PRETTY POTTERY, I HAVE NEVER SEEN IT. I THINK I WOULD HAVE HAD A HARD TIME PICKING OUT A SINGLE PIECE. CAN'T WAIT TO SEE WHAT YOU PICKED OUT..I DO LIKE THE LITTLE LADIES AND SOME OTHER ONES..HAPPY WEEKEND WITH LOVE JANICE
ReplyDeleteWhat lovely designs. I think I would choose a teapot and a collection of those lovely mugs on the shelf below so I could enjoy using them every day. Look forward to seeing your birthday gift.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! I don't think I've ever seen Polish pottery before. Which would I have picked? Oh my goodness...there are so many choices, I have no idea!I like the nesting hens at the top and I think the bunnies are really cute, too. Though I love the plates...so who knows!
ReplyDeleteI've not seen that before - and it is just lovely. Can't wait to see what you got.
ReplyDeleteOoooo I realize this is not a new post,but I just had to comment on how I would love to live near a polish stoneware shop.Do you know QVC has polish stoneware?Every few months it comes up.Denise of Coffeeberry Cottage.
