Yes i remember Polish Stoneware. And i did and do use it. And i remember how you would rave about it when you presented with Gloria. Did you think that none of us were still around?

It was about 10:30 am, presenting Temptations with Tara, maybe the soup bowls. He said do you remeber Polish Stoneware, the $100 pieces, sit on a shelf (or something like that), well you can use this.......I started laughing as i sit here drinking coffee in PS and pieces waiting to be washed in the sink. And recalling his presentations back in the day. LOL.

And QVC is still selling Polish stoneware; they currently have 63 pieces in stock.

I have a few pieces and I use them regularly. I do not own any ceramic Temptations.

I have numerous pieces of Polish Stoneware. They are excellent quality and beautiful as well. I use them all the time. I have one Temptations item and it is a piece of ceramic c r a p. I am not tempted one bit by Temptations.

What's so shameful.....

Being Polish I have an ethnic responsibility to defend Polish stoneware, so I'm highly offended. LOL, just kidding.

For those unaware, though, of its fascinating history, Polish stoneware has stories to tell. A history going back to the late middle ages, starting off as folk art and evolving over time to practical uses.

Polish stoneware has graced many a home with years, even decades of use. It's tough, durable and multifunctional. It's a lovely, useful art form, collected by many. It's deserving of being held in high regard.

I absolutely love Polish stoneware. It's gorgeous, unique and well made. The one bit of Temptations I purchased were cheaply made bowls. I think Rick should not have made that statement against Polish Stoneware to push the Temptations line.

funny how folks read things into stuff

my take on his statement was that the higher priced pottery is treated precious and sits not being used. where this temptation bakeware is less pricey and used without concern of price.

@TheMemphisVette - That was exactly my feeling about what Rick said; he was in no way stating anything negative about Polish stoneware.

If Rick was selling Temp-tations, then he's going to tell you it's the best thing since split-top bread.

If he's selling Polish Stoneware next week, he will tell you it's the best thing since split-top bread.

He's a salesman/carnival barker.

All of the QVC hosts are.

It's their job.

I heard him say that. I'm not offended. I think he was just price comparing. I have pieces of both. However, my Gloria pieces are TREASURED, and yes, I use them. I have more bowls and mugs of temptations, and some platters. My favorite piece is the elongated bread bowls. I have two or three of them. Winter, pointsetta, and a basket weave. I use them for bread, mail, fruit. The bread bowls were under $15 years ago.

At one time Rick used to present QVC's brand of enameled cast iron cookware and used to say why bother buying La this or La that when you could get the same quality for less by buying QVC's brand.

I kinda laugh to myself when I see him present La Creuset now.

There is no shame in that. Sales people have to do and say whatever will make them the sale. It's not really lying. It is true.

Why anyone would get upset about this is beyond me. I don't understand how you get to be an adult in life while still being so naive.

Some people use aluminum disposable pans while their precious polish stoneware sits on a shelf. The horrors!

Why take offense? He's a salesman who is trying to generate sales.

I saw the presentation and he didn't deliberately denigrate or disparage anyone or anything.
