BALTICA - 145 HIGH ST, LEWES, BN7 1XT

Welcome to our website where we offer a wide selection of Polish pottery. Since 1997 we have specialised in importing 'eyespot' stoneware from Boleslawiec in Poland. Our range of tableware and kitchenware comes from the town's main potteries: Zaklady Ceramiczne Boleslawiec, Ceramika Artystyczna, Manufaktura and Wiza - and from the smaller potteries: Galia, Cergor, Vena and others.

In May 2010 we moved to new premises and opened our cafe and shop. We serve a breakfast menu from 9.30am to 3.00pm and a lunch menu from 11.00am to 3.00pm. Homemade cakes, tarts, cupcakes and other pastries are served all day.

UK courier delivery - and now to Ireland as well

We charge a flat rate of £9.50 for packing and delivery within all of England, Wales and Southern/Central Scotland. Please allow up to ten days for us to pack your order and to arrange delivery to you. It is always helpful if you could give us alternative delivery instructions in case there is no one in to sign for the package when the courier arrives.

We can now deliver to the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland. The charge is £18.50 per order - the same as for the Scottish 'Highlands & Islands'. Delivery to the Isle of Wight is £14.50. Please click on the button 'Ordering and Shipping' for more information or call us at our Lewes shop (01273 483449).

Anna & Will Rogers started importing pottery from Boleslawiec in November 1997. We used to have it shipped by sea from the Baltic port of Gdynia - hence our name; Baltic Trader! We opened this online shop in January 2000.
