Boleswiec Pottery

The town of Boleswiec is famous for pottery making. Polish pottery is typically painted with swirls and dots in dark blue. It was a bit of a drive to get there but I was hoping for amazing deals that would make it worth it.

We visited some of the factory show rooms, but I was sadly disappointed in the prices. They weren't that much better than what we had found in Krakow. We had lunch in the town square. It was quiet, but pretty with its colourful shops.

After lunch we went back to the pottery manufacturing area and this time I had some luck. We picked up some pot-belly mugs. We liked various styles so we picked a bunch that matched in shape and colour, but not in paint designs. Now all we have to do is get them home in one piece!
