LLC / THE POLISH POTTERY SHOP TM)
WHERE IS THE SHOPPING CART? HOW CAN I BUY?
2/05 – We receive several truckloads of pottery throughout the year. We have a constantly rotating stock of
pottery from 6 factories! If the
shopping cart is down when you visit our site, check the main page www.polishpotterySHOP.com for a
note – we are probably updating the cart with new pottery. You can also visit one of our retail stores
in VA. (See “Where Are Our Stores
Located” below). And, we have many
Distributors around the country. Go HERE
to find one in your area. Please also
check the main page or the News
& Sales page for our SHOW AND EVENT dates. We are expanding our calendar of event dates at customer request!
DO YOU SELL AT WHOLESALE?
We sure do! Most of the pottery we
import these days is sold at wholesale.
Our online retail shopping cart only shows a small selection of the most
unique or most popular pottery especially selected from our container-loads for
our retail customers! As a major
importer of pottery into the US, we can offer an unrivaled selection (pottery
from 6 factories) plus extremely low wholesale prices. (We do our best to beat any other vendor’s
prices.) Please fill out the Wholesale Inquiry
Form for details on either the regular wholesale (smaller quantities) or
Distributor program (lower prices / larger quantities). We need your tax id # to give out info. As always, e:mail Teresa if you still
have questions.
WHERE ARE YOUR “REAL-LIFE” STORES LOCATED?
We live on the Virginia Peninsula. As
of 8/04 we have 3 retail stores. Our
newest store is at Port Warwick in Newport News, VA. We staff this one and also have European antique furniture,
French pottery, a variety of folk art home accessories, Greek pottery, etc. for
sale. We also maintain booths in the
Williamsburg Antiques Mall, and in the Mt. Vernon Antiques Mall just 5 miles
North of Ft. Belvoir in Alexandria, VA. Get driving directions HERE. If

YOUR SITE HAS GROWN. WHERE CAN I SEE A SITE
MAP OF ALL THE STORES?
www.bringhometheworld.com is
the place to shop for antiques and collectibles,
unique home accessories and gift items, Polish pottery, French pottery, etc. This page serves as our site map.
CAN YOU GIVE ME ANY INFORMATION ABOUT
BOLESLAWIEC OR THE POTTERY ITSELF?
We have an "About the
Pottery" page which has info on the history of the pottery, how it is
made, recent magazine and t.v. sitings, and use of the ceramics today. We hope
this is a good resource page!
We also have a BLOG page at http://polishpotteryshop.blogspot.com/
for more info.
WHICH FACTORIES DO YOU BUY FROM?
Our main partner factory is Manufaktura. We love their consistently high quality and
constant addition of new patterns and items.
We also purchase from Wiza and use some smaller workshops (Art Pottery,
WR Unikat, Cergor, Dana) in order to get the newest patterns and items coming
out of Boleslawiec. We try to stock great
pottery which will "freshen up" our long-term, repeat customer's
traditional Polish pottery pattern sets.
We are very proud to be able to carry so many wonderful items in regular
and UNIKAT patterns. The Polish people are great to work with, especially at
our primary partner factory, Manufaktura. They work with us frequently to
develop new products. They have also given us permission to market some
EXCLUSIVE patterns in the States. To date, we plan to mark these most special
pieces "WRC" in addition to the factory logo and "unikat"
stamp.
CAN I MAKE A SPECIAL ORDER?
We can make special orders with several
of the factories and we do this from time-to-time as a special offer. Contact a
Distributor
near you or Teresa at WRC
to see if they can fill your order from stock, or for more details about making
a special order. Please remember that custom-orders may NOT be immediately
available. The factories take a lot of time and care in making pottery -
designed to your specifications!
HOW MUCH IS SHIPPING?
** UPDATED 2/05 We have found it
necessary to change our shipping policy. We charge 18% of your retail order
total for shipping and handling. Minimum charge is $8 per order. IF YOU LIVE IN
A WESTERN STATE OR ORDER SEVERAL VERY HEAVY PIECES, we may add a surcharge of
2-4% to your order. Pottery is well
packed and insured. We use UPS and pottery is insured. We can arrange freight by truck or air,
also, for larger orders. Shipping cost
for wholesale orders may be calculated differently, based on order size,
weight, method of shipment.
DO YOU SELL OTHER ITEMS BESIDES POLISH
POTTERY?
YES – we shop around the world and throughout
the US for handmade items and unique home accessories. Available selections vary. Please visit www.bringhometheworld.com to begin
