VIRGINIA RETAIL STORES - The Polish Pottery Shop from Wine Road Collectibles LLC We'd love to meet you at our headquarters and internet packing facility in Old Towne, Petersburg. This area is rich in history, and close to I-95 and I-85, 21 miles S of Richmond, VA. Many of our customers stop by when they are traveling through and find that VA is a wonderful destination for a weekend visit or vacation stay! Look for the tourism links in the direction section (below). The store features Polish pottery, antique furniture, French pottery, Italian pottery and other select items imported from around the world! As a courtesy to our Virginia customers, we also stock Polish pottery in our (old) store in Newport News. This shop in Port Warwick is run now by Marlene and is called Starving Artists Studio. Stop in at 157 Herman Melville Ave. to see what exciting changes Marlene has made (hint - soon you will be able to make your OWN pottery!). We also stock booth spaces at the Mt. Vernon Antique Center (Alexandria VA) and Williamsburg Antique Mall (booth J2 - far right aisle).
