I love seeing this product back on air, but have to say I can't understand why they didn't stay with the previous manufacturer.

In my opinion it was/is the best 'brand' of Polish stoneware out there.

These are nice, but just don't really measure up to the previous brand (can't spell it unless I look it up!).

I don't own any Polish Pottery but remember enjoy watching the shows from yesteryear. The older company designs were more intricate and the pricing was much higher. Perhaps Q thinks this price point will bring in more buyers.

That platter was a steal ! 65 bucks ! Must be a different vendor. I got one bowl from the other gal I can upload pic after while and I paid a fortune for it

Remember i wanted the bigger one, but, settled on this smaller version.

Just use it to raise bread in when it's a small loaf of something I'm making.

I was lucky enough to go to Poland to purchase my pottery.(family in military in Europe, so I was able to travel there) I went to many oulets and "factories" in Poland. My first choice of pattern wasn't available with enough pieces. I settled on Pansies. My pottery is Unikat and signed by the person who handpainted it. I was astounded when I went to the "factory." So small and I got to meet my craftswoman when she came to pick up her greenware and take it home to paint it. She brought a cart to pick it up. Her worksmanship is impeccible and everytime I use a piece of her pottery, I think of her. I also have many other pieces of pottery by other factories but I always favor my Pansies. That was almost 20 years ago and my pottery remains perfect, thru baking and dishwasher. My pottery was not mass produced, rather with a personal touch. It was a wonderful experience that I will never be able to duplicate. I recommend Polish Pottery, never a problem.

Thank you so much for sharing that story! I love when we have something in our home that has such history, feeling and warmth.

I think it is wonderful that you got to meet and interact with your artist. Those pieces are so special because you got to do so, as well as go right to the source to get them.

Special pieces for sure!

I have an extensive collection from Gloria's manufacturers and have had the collection well over ten years and use it daily. Exceptional quality. Unfortuately Gloria has retired and it's impossible to get her items from her on-line store. I've purchased one of Lydia's items (a hen on a nest) and although I love it..... it's simply not made as well with a very loose fit on the top and the decor not as sophisticated/detailed.

I'm still interested in Lydia's pieces but am more discriminating in selecting.....
