Polish Pottery Stoneware, Dinnerware, and Bakeware
It is rare or unheard of for a company to offer its
customers the ability to place an order for a pattern created in years past,
especially in the dinnerware and bakeware lines. Most companies produce only a
few patterns, but you have almost 4000 patterns available for special ordering from Ceramika Artystyczna.
Recently I had a customer ask if the pottery was just stored
in a warehouse and pulled when we placed an order. No, that is not the case,
all of the pottery is formed, hand stamped, hand painted, signed
(Signature/Unikat Series), and inspected after they receive our order.
Depending on the size of the order the creation process usually takes 3 to
4 months. After the pottery has been specially made for you then it must
be transported from Poland to a port in the U.S. The journey is a long one; it takes
3 to 4 weeks by water. When the stoneware hits land again, it must clear
customs and then it is trucked via FedEx freight to Texas, taking yet
another 2 to 3 weeks. Once we have the pottery in our possession we
unpack and inspect each individual piece before we contact you. You can see how
it sometimes takes 6 months or more for your custom order to arrive, but
according to many of our customers it is well worth the wait!
We recently added a new function to the site that allows you to place a special order online. Not all items are listed yet, but if you see a item that you would like and it is out of stock you now have the ability to special order it online. In the meantime we are working on adding all 950 different items offered by Ceramika Artystyczna. With those items you will be able to specify which pattern you would like in each item and complete your purchase online. Once you have placed your online special order we will send an email with photo of pattern to confirm that we agree on the actual choice of pattern.
Until this project is completed, if you have a pattern you prefer that is not listed please call to place your special order. We would be happy to help you complete your collection, even one piece at a time.
