For centuries, Boleslawiec in southwestern Poland has been known for its pottery, decorated with traditional folk designs. In 2003, Elle Englander, a native of that city who moved to Suffield, Conn., near Hartford, started importing Boleslawiec pottery to the United States and opened a store selling it in nearby Enfield. Ms. Englander gradually expanded, and now her warehouse store has about 60,000 pieces, many of which are also sold on a website. The stoneware pottery — in bowls, platters, bakeware, teapots and more — is available in scores of patterns at prices starting at $15. The pieces can be used in an oven, microwave, dishwasher and freezer. New shapes and designs are frequently introduced.
