We bought Polish Pottery at Mila, which is a factory direct store. We worked with the sweetest employee that explained the history of the company, and how you can tell the authenticity of Polish pottery. She offered to ship our pieces back to the US for a very reasonable amount. We ended up carrying our pieces home, but I loved the option being presented. She was complimentary of our choices, and even showed us a video of one of our prints being given to the Royal Family from Poland as a gift. I love that we can shop online from this store, and I can absolutely see us doing that in the future. Definitely worth a stop in!
