As I mentioned a few weeks ago, we are buying a house across town ... and I am packing up my goodies. When I lived in the Netherlands, I spent a weekend shopping for Polish Pottery with other military spouses.
I was drawn to this non-traditional pattern with the tulips - it will always remind me of the Netherlands!
From the Netherlands, we moved to Fort Meade, MD (then to Hawaiian and back to Fort Meade). I found the tea pot below in a local thrift shop. Although it has the hallmark for Bolesławiec, Poland - the Mecca for Polish Pottery - I believe this is a vintage item before the pottery became popular.
Do you have a favorite piece of pottery? One randomly selected commenter from this week's blogs wins a book choice from my convention stash. Comments are open through Saturday, August 8, 10 pm in Baltimore. I'll post the winner on Sunday, August 9.

no, I don't
ReplyDeleteMy mom's friend got me a beautiful cup and saucer she picked in either the Netherlands or Germany.
ReplyDeleteI have a friend who makes pottery and those are some of my favorite pieces.
ReplyDeleteI don't but I love that clock!
ReplyDeleteLove the pictures. My favorite pottery piece is a plate my daughter made for me.
ReplyDeleteI am totally unfamiliar with Polish Pottery - I do have some pieces of American pottery (some from Williamsburg Va and others I don't know where it is from) - an probably some from Great Britain that came from older family members.
ReplyDeleteLove this post. We just returned stateside from Europe and yes! It's more or less a requirement for military spouses to collect Polish pottery while you're stationed overseas. At least that's what I told my husband. ;)
ReplyDeleteNo I lie. Cases

I have a small, delft vase that we got in the Netherlands on one of my shelves. It reminds me of when we went to Europe many, many years ago.
