Old Time Pottery

What a store! Don’t be misled by the sign and think this large building is full only of mixing bowls. You’ll find a HUGE selection of everything seasonal (it’s March and there is still quite a variety of Christmas items… very well marked down), linens, bedding, home décor, kitchen and everything under the sun related to glassware, dishes, bakeware, serving items… everything. I found several varieties of footed, fluted milkshake glasses I couldn’t find anywhere. Prices and selection are terrific. Those chrome-​topped glass syrup dispensers you’ve seen at restaurants? $ 2.00. And they are nice with fluted/​beveled glass. Two sizes! Lots of open-​stock dishes and silverware. Where can you find that? Store is clean and bright, and well-​organized. It’s sort of «warehousy» inside but oh, the prices!
And for us old-timers…remember when Morse Rd. was the place to shop and 161 was the place for restaurants? I will throw out there this is the last store I would shop on Morse (it’s about the last one left) and is there anyplace left to eat on 161? My, how times have changed…

I have been riding past this enormous building the past year with my nose in the air. Tsk tsk, self! The name misled me… Olé Time Pottery. …I dunno, doesn’t sound interesting. But when I walked in… MAGIC.
Any household item you can think of… they have it — in ten variations. Talk about seasonal items… shiiiiiiit! Clearance — OMG.
I was literally mesmerized for hours. The kids were like, «are we ever gonna leave?» before I snapped out of it. I have since bought new curtains, table cloth and runner, as well as a new set of dishes… I have just got started.
Everything is so incredibly affordable, it’s hard not to go over board. Check it out — bet you are hooked after the first time too!

…what just happened? I spent way too much time wandering around this indoor flea market warehouse and walked out with +$ 100 of linens. This is fine because I’m at the point in my life where home décor and cake are all I care about, really, so you can imagine my disappointment when, after rushing home to delight in my new goodies, I opened one of the sheet sets to find it dotted with something resembling blood. Bad things happen to pretty people and no one knows why but I soldier on.
The comforter opened at the seams after a five minute spin through the gentle cycle with woolite revealing very frightening tufts of not down. For two hours, I attempted to stitch the comforter together before I admitted to myself that I don’t know how to sew and my time would be better spent eating cake, and really, what else could go wrong?
Zero for three: The remaining sheet set was missing the pillowcases and, without the warehouse lighting, looked scary and dingy, but what was most fun was looking at the tag and seeing that these were not the composition of the sheets I had paid for, and then looking for tags on the other arbitrarily priced items and making similar discoveries.
I get that this is a warehouse which is why I do not know why everything is not priced as the irregular, mismade home furnishings that they are rather than passing itself off as a mini outlet mall.
I would not recommend this store to anyone who was looking for things expected to last. Seasonal decorations, junk nonsense, but actual necessities that will withstand usage? No.
But then, any place that doesn’t accept American Express ought to be a red flag to me by now so.

I went to OTP to get some new dishes. Great Selection, great prices. I found exactly what I needed and then some. These folks have everything under the sun for decorating your home. Some of their main sections? Artificial plants, kitchenware, bedding and linens, mirrors, clocks, wall hangings, pet department, large clearance area and holiday/​seasonal stuff.
Prices are very competitive across the board. I’d definitely recommend them if you want something for your house or if you are in the area and just want to kill some time and get decorating ideas.

was very disappointed by their misleading signs. We went to purchase something that was signed as 19.99 for everything in the bin… and the sales flyer said the same…19.99 for all metal frame work… we found one we had liked previously. Went to purchase it and the cashier had an attitude when we told her the sales price. We told her the sign said and she said we were mistaken and that she would get the Manager on duty… and that they (MANAGERS) always agree with the cashiers… we took our chances. The manager agreed that the cashier was right without even looking at the sign… she walked away and got on a walkie talkie. We told her to look at the sign… we walked back with her… and as we were rounding the corner another male employee was taking down the sign. We as well as the manager saw this… and she had the gall to say we were maybe wrong what we saw. She argued that we again were mistaken. Shady employees… from the customer service to managment. I shot an email to the head corporate office and got an email saying they would follow up… and still nothing… didnt suprise us at all… We live in Newark, and when we go to Columbus we always make that a place to stop b4 we head back. WE WILL NOT ANYMORE. Our hard earned money doesnt deserve this establishment… We loved the merchandise and the store in the past… never had a complaint but now we saw how customers were treated decided to take our business elsewhere.

LOVE Old Time Pottery! This is THE place for inexpensive decorations whether its seasonal or for year round. They have a HUGE selections of outdoor furniture, wall décor, lamps, rugs, throw pillows, dining chairs, stools, storage bins, kitchen necessities, and the list goes on and on.
I went here most recently for baking supplies and they had a full two rows containing everything I needed. PLUS, I got two awesome throw pillows for the couch for $ 12.50 each and they’re huge and nice quality. They probably would have cost $ 50 at Macy’s.
Anyway, if you’re looking for something for your home, go here first. I am pretty sure you’ll find everything you ever wanted and spend half the price. Just be prepared to wait in line and don’t expect much help from staff.

I came to Old Time Pottery with a friend on my first visit, and by the name, I expected a stodgy little craft shop with ceramics all over the place. But this place is really cool. First of all, it’s huge, with merchandise that goes way beyond arts and crafts. Second, there were great deals all over the place. I recently got a new puppy and I had no idea I could get so many toys and beds and treats and necessities for him for so cheap. We did go to the store for craft supplies, and everything was easy to find and the prices were clearly marked. I’ll be back.

I had heard a lot of great things about Old Time Pottery and after a year of literally working across the street, I visited!
All I wanted were some resealable glass jars but I actually ended up finding a bamboo-​like salad bowl. It’s essentially a huge warehouse with sections designated by signage. It’s easy to find things and the prices aren’t bad. I expected everything to be a lot cheaper but not for any specific reason. Overall it was a good experience and it’s location is great for me (could be a bit out of the way for most.)

I thought that this would be more like a craft store but its actually like a giant home decorating store. I spent forever roaming around aisles of random junk, bedding, storage containers, garden stuff and jewelry. The prices a pretty reasonable and I totally recommend going there when your looking for anything for your home or apartment.

The perfect spot for some cheap Christmas decorations!
I hadn’t been to OTP in years, and then last week, I needed Christmas decorations. Cheap ones. But fabulous ones, naturally. And what a find I found! We walked out with enough stuff to decorate the tree for …$ 30! Seriously!
The rest of the store is kinda hit or miss. Some of the mirrors and ceramics are pretty cool, but a lot of it is just not my style. But head to OTP, and I’m sure you’ll find something you’ll love!

I needed to decorate my place and heard all the good reviews about Old Time Pottery that I decided to check it out. I tend to stray more towards modern contemporary and should have realized by the name that «old time» would not suit my tastes. It is a discount store with moderately low prices and their items are pretty random. and old. If that suits you, then by all means…

Going to OTP is probably the closest I’ll ever get to living out my childhood fantasy of being Indiana Jones. What sort of ark did I find there, you may ask? Doormats, cut from random pieces of leftover carpet samples, spray painted with a picture of an 18-​wheeled hauler and the immortal words «Keep on Truckin» — $ 1.00.

I hate paying a lot for household items. It seems weird but I don’t want to pay much for things that seem like they are necessary. I also don’t like to pay a lot for nick knacks. I mean, I don’t really need them, so why should I pay lots for them?
This place helps me meet my need for decorating my house with not paying much. It is a warehouse sized household supply store at low prices. It does take some sorting through so plan some time to browse through everything.
There is just about everything that you need for your house including pet supplies, cooking utensils, and decorating. There’s even some garden type things (not the live plants) if you’re looking to bring the inside, outside.
This place is especially fun at Christmas-​time as you can decorate your house to look like Santa’s workshop for cheap and pick up a few gifts along the way.

Like every other «regular guy», I love football, weight-​training and bull-​sessions, but the one thing that I’ve never enjoyed was shopping, especially for household items.
Well, I must confess, my disdain for shopping ended the day I walked into this Old Time Pottery. Wow, what a store! I was blown away! It’s like walking into a whole new world — the diversity of products, endless inventory and best of all, low prices! Deal after deal after deal.
Whether you’re decorating an entire home or adding a life-​size statue to your foyer, you can’t go wrong here. This place is priceless… literally! My life has never been the same.

I believe the building this is in used to be a Gold Circle. Anyway, it is huge. You have no idea how big it is from looking at it from the outside. When you walk in, the entire right side of the store is artificial flowers. And there are more of them on the back wall. And they have cookware (every cast iron pan known to man, and every Duncan Hine pan the make). And they have knifes and chairs, and, well you get the idea. Good place to kill some time.

I do like this store. I usually can find what I am looking for when it come to inexpensive house hold items. I went there a couple weeks ago for some pillows for my bed and throw pillows. I was glad they were having a sale also. I got 2 premium bed pillows and 4 quality throw pillow for under $ 20 total. My type of prices. l love their variety. I usually try to check there to see if they have what I want before going to walmart, kmart or target. They have a lot of high end decorative stuff for a fraction of the cost.

The neon marquee that displays the name of this airplane hangar-​sized doodads and whatnot warehouse gives Old Time Pottery no justice whatsoever. Sure, there’s pottery, and some of it may seem «old-​timey», but that’s barely even scratching the surface of the kind of wares that are for sale here. I liken it to a cut-​rate, delightfully ghetto version of Pottery Barn. It *is* on Morse Road, after all. The OLD part of Morse Road, at that.
As soon as you walk in, the amount of stuff for sale here that ISN’T pottery– fake topiaries, posters, mounting supplies, dishes (!?!), paints– is absolutely mind-​boggling. Joanne Fabric may have the market cornered when it comes to customer service, shiny new items, and a staff that speaks English as a first language, but Old Time Pottery wins in every other sense of the word.
When I lived in a huge house near OSU on 16^th with 7 other guys, we renewed our lease for a second year and decided to go all out on converting our porch and one of our living room areas in to a tiki bar. Old Time Pottery to the rescue! I got this crazy-​looking juju man totem pole, some fake palm fronds, rope lights, and a handful of other smaller items for under $ 100, which is actually an incredible deal when compared to places that don’t get the majority of the goods from shady, fell off the back of a truck deals. There can’t be any other logical explanation for how cheap everything is here. You just have to check it out for yourself. Some of the stuff you bring back might be garage sale fodder in a year or so, but damn did it look cool on the shelf before you bought it for $ 12.99!

My wife and I had driven past Old Time Pottery dozens of times. We were always tempted to go in, but we always shied away since we didn’t need (or like) pottery. As it turns out, the place is a mega-​discount home store.
We were blown away to walk into a vast expanse of a building that clearly used to house a department store. OTP had done a handy job filling the space up with anything and everything for the home. They’ve got everything from storage containers to rugs and from kitchen utensils to picture frames.
And the prices are killer. We spotted a candle marked at $ 1.99 that we bought at another discount store for $ 8 a few weeks ago.
Now all this praise isn’t to say that OTP isn’t without its share of flaws. Lots of what is in stock is just plain ugly. Some is damaged. But if you’re willing to look around a little, you might stumble across a find.

Sometimes you’ve got to work for the good stuff. And sometimes that means batteling the crowds and digging through some not so great stuff to get to the good stuff. Like beautiful fabric for less than 4 bucks a yard. And great latte mugs for 50 cents. Or kitty littler scoops for 79 cents. (I mean really, you’re using it to scoop cat poop, how much should you spend for it?) OTP is a great place to find all the stuff you need but don’t want to pay a lot for and also all the stuff you didn’t know you needed. From cheesy dried flowers (10 cents each), shower curtains in every color (5 dollars), big mirrors (40 bucks!) to little pillows embroidered with «bewitch me (?!)» (1.99) if it goes in your house, you’ll find it at Old Time Pottery.
