Does qvc not sell it any longer?

[forrestwolf]

NO..........It went away a long time ago.......but I will tell you to look at Artisan Table for some sales at time, and a selection you may be interested in............

Yes it's gone, but I wish the Q would bring it back. If you are a collector of Polish stoneware you know Temptations doesn't even come close in quality and artistry.

That is a nice website, Forrestwolf, thanks for the suggestion.

The only place I have found polish stoneware is in Grove City, PA. Down the road from the Prime Outlets (towards the town/college) is Wendell August Forge. They have beautiful cast silver and bronze pieces. They share the building with a stoneware seller. They have a huge selection...it is made in Poland..and looks as beautiful as the pieces I used to get when QVC carried it.

They are not associated w/ Wendell Forge...just share the building...so I have not been able to locate a website. Luckily, I go every year to attend a Christian Conference at the college and I have been able to add some pieces.

The vendor that sold polish stoneware on the Q was Gloria Smith from the Zanger Company. I purchase directly from her. A lot of what I purchase is from the Downstairs section, which offers discounted pricing. The items there typically have painting that may be lighter in color or the pattern is slightly off. With some items, the flaw is barely noticeable. I usually hold my purchases until I have a few pieces to save on shipping. I just received an order the other day with 9 pieces (mostly smaller items) and shipping was around $18. She only charges the actual shipping price. Happy Shopping!

Suz- that is SO helpful! Very kind to let us know that the same stoneware is still available somewhere! I am going to check it out!

Thanks again!

Ladies--do any of you buy your Polish stoneware from ebay? I buy Fiesta but have seen PS being sold by a person called classylady1956. She only has 2 pieces at the moment (tube pan and 6 cup muffin pan) but has had more at times. My Mom collected it and that is how I know about it. She misses the shows, too.

I have purchased a couple of pieces from ebay and the pieces were great (both were new). I just make sure the buyer is reputable. Most of my purchases have been through the Zanger Company as she sells quality pieces.
