I recently saw some Polish pottery pieces that had a Halloween theme. I'm sure they're made just for the American market, but still, they're kind of interesting.
I did some reading and discovered that while Halloween hasn't been celebrated in Poland this is starting to change. Younger people have been influenced by American culture and, in the larger cities, clubs throw Halloween parties and some children go trick-or-treating for candy. It's not widespread though and many Poles find the holiday disrespectful to the religious All Souls Day which is celebrated on November 1st and 2nd. And yet, Halloween pottery is creeping into their culture.
The shop where I found these is
UnoAllaVolta.
To read about Halloween in Poland visit two pieces:
Halloween in Poland from
Foreigners in Poland and
Do Polish People Celebrate Halloween? from
Careers in Poland. It's a place to start anyway.
