My Mother-in-law got me started with the sugar bowl and now look...I've been able to find a creamer, and 2 other bowls and a water pitcher in the same pattern. Picture of water pitcher is somewhere in this photo line up.
My Americana apple container- just too sweet!
This was a "different" looking pattern not what I'd call one of the usual traditional patterns.
This was just too darn cute to pass up...love the polka dots!

I got this little gem of a bowl at our base Thrift Shop (a 2nd hand store) for the bargain price of $5.00- WOW! I adore daisies and this pattern is simply adorable!
I bought this to bake brownies in- the blue and green pattern goes with everything!
This platter was a gift from my friend Susan- she bought it in on one of her marathon pottery buying trips in Poland and sent it to me :-)
Another pottery item from Susan... as Susan says-one can never have enough red white and blue!
The divided bowls came from a surprising source...my mother-in-law. She saw them at a shop in MA and realized what a deal they were (under $5.00 each) and thought that I "needed" them. Now about the Canada maple Leaf pattern, I've never seen or even heard of that pattern done in Polish Pottery-ever, until now.
Another gift from Susan from Poland. I'd send her scrapbooking supplies on a regular basis and she;s send me cool pottery pieces. I thought that was a terrific trade off and so did she! I use this baking dish all of the time!
I love the odd and unusual and Peacock feathers is pretty unusual! This teapot is in my collection courtesy of my Mom:-)
Here's that water pitcher I was talking about earlier....I love the shape! It's shape reminds me of water and wine pitchers that were used in ancient times.
This pair of huge crocks/pots was another one of my Thrift Shop buys. I'm always using them for different things. Some times I use them for untensil crocks in the kitchen and other times in the bathroom for holding bath scrubbies, bottles of shower gel and bubble bath. And yes, I've also had plants in them too!
I bought this for myself from a little gift shop when we first moved to this area.
Susan sent me this multi colored cup and saucer...it looks fantastic with my Fiesta-ware pottery!

The Blueberry plate is NOT Polish Pottery, it's actually a limited pottery line that was handmade in Maine. I bought that plate over 10 years ago when I was on vacation. I just thought that it blended in well with the Polish Pottery :-)
The Egg plate- this is the piece that had me falling in love with the flower motif
One year our base exchange sold holiday themed Polish Pottery. It was so seriously over priced that this stuff didn't move (sell) until the BX had it marked 75% off- and even then it took a while for it to sell.
The Cheese Lady- oh my gosh this was such a fantastic find! Again another item that I bought at our base Thrift Shop...this is one of my most prized pieces! She is just too darn CUTE!
