We're Not A Pottery Store
Nope, we're not a pottery store. Are you shocked??
We know, it's confusing. Our name is Carolina Pottery after all! We often get messages confused about the products we sell. When people hear "pottery" they automatically think clay, pottery wheel, kiln, and ornate regional designs. Unfortunately, that's not us!
We thought we'd clear up this misconception a bit! Especially for our customers who aren't southern natives, the idea of a multi-department shop under a "pottery" name could be a foreign idea. Just like Pottery Barn doesn't sell pottery in a barn and Target isn't a dart board shop, we're also so much more than just pottery!
Back in the 70's & 80's the pottery store model became very popular and somewhat of a southern staple. Each store was stocked with outdoor furnishings, home decor, craft supplies, and floral items. They were known for their affordable prices, huge selection, and warehouse style set up. These stores were often off of major interstates or in beach towns making them a destination spot for those traveling. When you ask a North Carolinian or South Carolinian if they've ever shopped at Carolina Pottery, many times they have childhood memories attached to shopping at one of our stores!
While the idea of a pottery isn't as popular as it once was, we've stuck to our roots and continue to provide a wide variety of merchandise to our customers! We actually do have pottery...and ceramics, however our emphasis is on outdoor furnishings, home decor, and floral items. Our departments and products include (but are not limited to):
