Vena Pottery

If you aren't familiar with the universally-loved Bolesławiec style of Polish ceramic, which hails from a little town not far to the west of Wrocław, then make sure you drop into this shop on the market square and educate yourself. Hand-painted in traditional folk motifs, Vena produces pottery that not only looks unique and beautiful, but is also practical for everyday use. This is one of the best collections we've seen anywhere and a foolproof gift-giving plan for anyone with a kitchen. Note that they share an entrance with Karczma Lwowska, whose garden dominates the doorstep.
