Virtual Pottery Wheel and Ceramic Printer Keeps Your Hands Clay Free!

Wow! Check out the video "Virtual Pottery Wheel and Ceramic Printer Keeps Your Hands Clay Free". Is this the future of pottery making? Think about the impact on the polish pottery market. Will this revolutionize the pottery market with pottery being designed using computer technology and then manufactured using mass production processes? Where is hand-made pottery going to be in the future! 

Although the concept sounds cool, I like my polish pottery made the old fashioned way!  Does anyone else have an opinion?

How do I know the polish pottery I am buying is a good deal and at the same time high quality?

How do I know the polish pottery I am buying is a good deal and at the same time high quality?  Generally, polish pottery wholesalers are purchasing polish pottery from the same factories in Poland. However, not all wholesalers are selecting the best quality and buying from top quality factories in Poland.

Some pieces are very intricate in design, made with six and eight colors, and signed by the artist. These pieces are called Signature Patterns or Unikat, which is a Polish word meaning "unique".  Does this mean that all other polish pottery that is not Unikat is not high quality? Of course not, many, many pieces of polish pottery, which are not signed by the artist are beautifully designed and very high quality.  A good way to determine the level of quality is to look at where the polish pottery is manufactured in Poland (the actual factory).

There are a number of  factories in Boleslawiec, Poland that manufacture Polish pottery. The highest quality Polish Pottery is made by Ceramika Artystyczna. Their craftsmanship has been internationally recognized year after year. They employ the most talented artists in the region who hand-paint each piece of Polish pottery using brushes and sponges from the Baltic Sea. Another large manufacturer is Zaklady Ceramiczne. The smaller ones include Manufaktura, Wiza, Millenium, WR, Dana, Andy, Cerfar, Cergor and many more.

When you are selecting polish pottery, sort by manufacturer at the retail website. Most websites have a Shop by Manufacturer function on the left or right side of the website.

There are thousands of polish pottery designs. Shopping for Polish Pottery can be fun. Look for a retail website that allows for shopping by Pattern ID number, so you can view all the products in the same pattern. An example of this type of Polish Pottery sorting can be found at Elizabeth Michaels Home.
