What's So Special About This Polish Pottery?

​Anyone who has used Polish Pottery stoneware for baking or cooking already knows this secret: Dinner or dessert is only as good as what you bake it in! Polish Pottery is durable, doesn't easily crack or chip, cleans super easily, and is very functional. The special clay and glaze used in forming this pottery makes it second to none. And the artwork is GORGEOUS and handmade in Boleslawiec, Poland. It is Quality 1 Polish Pottery stoneware. The stoneware patterns are typically inspired by natural plants and flowers found in Poland. 

Polish Pottery comes in thousands of pieces from mugs, plates, pie plates, baking dishes, covered dishes, soap dispensers, bowls, covered bowls, tea plates, ornaments, crosses, angels, candle holders, honey pots, olive trays, butter dishes, and more. Polish pottery is designed to mix and match as your collection grows of everyday serving and bake ware pieces. Some people use their pottery in every room of their home in so many ways!

All of the pieces of Polish Pottery are dishwasher, oven, freezer, AND microwave safe!

How I First Learned About Polish Pottery
I happened upon a Facebook Page of More Polish Pottery, LLC., a Midwest gift shop and distribution center for polish pottery stoneware located in Big Rock, Illinois. The photos of the pottery were stunning, but it wasn’t until I started watching the Facebook Lives with the owner, Rebecca Gengler, that Polish Pottery got my full attention. During the Lives, I not only learned about the history of the pottery and why this collection is so special, but I also received inspiration and joy from Rebecca and her staff. They share their passion for the pottery as well as recipes and ideas on how to use the collection. They share their hearts as they make everyone feel as special as the pottery…beautiful & one-of-a-kind!

And, that's the hope of Treasures For Your Heart...to encourage everyone with the reminder that they are beautiful & one of a kind! That YOU are a priceless gift that makes a heart smile!

Why I Chose More Polish Pottery To Be My Supplier
More Polish Pottery was opened in July 2011 after 10 years of dreaming! Rebecca's love affair with Polish pottery began when she was a military wife stationed in Germany.  Waking up at 3am was not uncommon so she could be at the factories when they first opened by driving to Poland a few hours away.  After collecting mugs and dessert plates on her first trip, she was hooked! 
 
After moving back to the United States in 2001, Rebecca said, "One day, I will share my love of Polish Pottery with others."  That dream was realized!

Rebecca is also 4th generation Polish. Her maiden name is 'Tutaj' meaning 'here' in Polish.  She is proud to share a piece of her heritage with others featuring a product made in Poland.

People drive from all over to visit their place to view the wide assortment of Ceramika Artstyczna, Andy, and Kalich polish pottery. I look forward to visiting Rebecca & More Polish Pottery one day, but until then, I decided to reach out to Rebecca via email & phone to inquire about Wholesale Opportunities.

After our initial communications, we agreed that adding More Polish Pottery's collection to the Treasures For Your Heart Boutique would be a perfect fit! I am grateful for Rebecca's & her staff's willingness to work with me & Treasures For Your Heart in helping to bring these pieces into peoples’ homes & hearts. 

In summary, after two months of watching More Polish Pottery’s Facebook Lives, I ordered my first Polish Pottery mug & teacup/saucer sets. As soon as I took the pottery out of the box, I was like Rebecca…HOOKED! I, too, want to share this pottery with others!
