New Shipment of Polish Pottery is Soon to Arrive!

We are expecting a large shipment of pottery to arrive in late May and are very excited to see the new patterns that will be introduced this year.  You can expect to have new pottery arrive at the shops sometime in June.  For those of you that are on our email list, you will be the first to know when the pottery is available.  There will be many one-of-a-kind Signature or Unikat pieces this year at discounted prices!  Here are a couple of pictures that we received from our agent in Poland showing examples of some of the Signature pieces that we may be receiving.  Some of the items pictured are Quality 2 or Quality 3 BUT we only order Quality 1 pieces.  For those of you that are not too familiar with this, Quality 1 pieces are the highest quality of Polish Pottery available while Quality 2, 3, or 4 are pieces that have some kind of defect.  Many of these pieces are sold on Ebay and other stores.  The Timeless Kitchen only carries Quality 1 pieces.  Every once in a while our shipper will include a quality 2 item even though we did not order it.  When this happens (very rare), we clearly show the Quality 2 green sticker and greatly reduce the price of the item.  Here are some images of pottery that may be arriving in May!

Leesburg Court of Shoppes to Reopen!

Yes, you read right.  The shop had closed down for about a month and a half before getting new management (just long enough for us to take out our entire inventory of pottery!).  We are now in the process of moving our pottery back in. You can find information about the shop here.

The shop is currently being remodeled and will open its doors to the public on November 26th ~ Black Friday.  However, its grand opening will be on January 1, 2011.  We do hope that everyone will be able to come out and enjoy the festivities on that day.  The new management is working hard to create a warm and inviting shop where customer service will be a top priority.  We will be stocking the shelves with new patterns and forms that were not previously there.  It would be worth your drive to check out some of the new pieces!   Claudia

Sneak Peek!

U-82I am embarking on one of the funnest parts of my job….choosing new patterns and shopping for pottery.  I am in the process of ordering a large shipment of pottery that should arrive in June and in my efforts to keep bringing you new and exciting pieces, I am researching new forms and patterns.  I thought it’d be fun to show you several of the new patterns that I am considering carrying this year.  Read More
