Blue Rose Pottery from Poland

We drove up to New York last week from Savannah, and en route we stumbled over the warehouse outlet for a company called Blue Rose Pottery, in Fort Mill, South Carolina, just south of Charlotte,
It was quite an interesting place, full of lovely dishes.
This is their website, here
and these are the pieces that came home with me...
who doesn't need more pottery mugs?
 The painted decoration on these items is very clear and vivid
 they have a really wide variety of items, and several different lines of decoration
 This little tray reminded me of an old piece of English stoneware,
They really are a nice weight of stoneware, unlikely to chip.  They are definitely not the kind of "ceramic slip cast" stuff that is that white, porous stuff. 
The more I handle it, the more I like it.  These are definitely dishes that will last for years and years.
These images are from their website:
