Like so many others have stated our family was looking for the old experience of the Williamsburg pottery when we were young children. They’ve updated it to a strip mall kind of feel. Only one of the buildings is open currently which is the largest one but it’s not fully stocked - some of the shelves and refrigerators were empty. The employees stated there was a plan to lease or sell the other buildings. I wish them the best and hopefully a strong bounce back. All the best Williamsburg pottery!

We loved the old pottery. Lots of very good deals and much larger inventory. The new pottery is like a strip mall. Even the restaurants in the old pottery were better. I am amazed this place is still in business. There are very few people in the buildings now.

I really miss the old Williamsburg Pottery. It was a quaint place to shop while in the area. The new place is okay. It is certainly more accessible being right off Richmond Road. It is new and modern but seems empty. Hopefully because it is new and COVID that the shelves are not full. They still have some unique items, but many other merchandise I could get them elsewhere. Hopefully they can survive to serve the areas for many more years.

This place has really changed from when I was younger. They used to have a wide selection of stoneware and pottery. Not any moreEverything seems to have been built in china and the selection is poor.There was only one building open.

Not the same as it was years ago.. it has really gone downhill. But, we still enjoyed walking around and found a few good deals!

This Place was awesome back in the day! You actually looked forward to going. It was an adventure! Now just another “Outlet” shopping center. Most overpriced not reason to make a trip. The Owner should have never messed with a good thing. If it’s not broken don’t fix it.

This is not the same place as it was years ago. Honestly, I kind of felt like it was a flee market. They do sell wine but the other items were? Dont know what happened and do miss the old place. You kind of have to judge on your own.

Wow actually had stuff not quite the pottery of old. But lots of cool stuff. Actually worth checking out

Didn’t buy anything but lots of cool, unique items at this store. A lot of it is very reasonably priced

Overpriced items with plenty of empty shelves. Nothing like the old Williamsburg Pottery from years ago. Not worth the trip.

For years, I thought the new Pottery was a letdown from other peoples word. However, after several years I finally went inside the new Pottery shops, and I was pleasantly surprised by the inventory, and most of all, the prices. The prices are amazing. I plan to go back more often. I would recommend anyone go here when they can.

Visited WP on 10-2-21 for the first time in many years. Wow, what a disappointment. The place was dead. Maybe a dozen cars in the parking lot. Apparently the change happened a while back. Hardly anything on the shelves. What the heck happened here? This used to be THE place to go in Williamsburg. They used to have huge crowds. It appears that the new design was not good. Looks like they tried to make it look like a French style marketplace. Looks like a major fail. The have signs up like La Patisserie or La Delicatessen but they have neither of those. So thinking they had a pastry shop in there somewhere due to the signage, I asked one lady where the pastry shop was. Her reply was just because the sign says we have it, doesnt mean we have it I found that hilarious. I got a good laugh out of that. She went on to explain how lots of folks come in asking for the pastry shop or delicatessen only to become angry when told those places do not exist there. Whats the point of having the signage to look like a French marketplace if its not? Thats kind of bizarre in my opinion. Maybe that was their downfall. Sort of like false advertising. Im sure online shopping and newer outlet malls helped bring about their downfall as well. Seems to me they tried to make it look like a mall like Short Pump Town Center or something. But with a French motif. They seemed to have too many folks working there for the handful of folks shopping there. The employees are lucky to have the jobs. I guess its good WP keeps them employed. The staff was nice enough. Ill give credit for that. Thats why WP got 2 stars instead of 1. What a shame that this is what WP has become.

Great place to find some gourmet ingredients and unique sauces. Plus...they host the best Wine Festivals through the year; great wines at great prices! 🍷🍶😎🇺🇸 - A/ATW

Really random odds and ends. Worth the stop if you enjoy looking around. they had a large wine selection. I only got wine cooler bags, all else was a random array. Prices are fair. The folks who work there are very kind.

Stopped here because it was sooo different than 10 years ago! BIG brand new store! Could have spent more than 45 min. Did I mention BIG? Not just pottery!!!!

Disappointed in selection but found some gems! I have shopped here for many years, especially when it was in the original location. Once they moved to their new and fancy stores it lost its charm. But whenever I was in Williamsburg I would stop by to see what type of specials I could find. This is what we did this time. However, only one of the new buildings was even open. The others were closed and empty. Selection was almost nonexistent. The only bright star in our visit was for plants. They had beautiful big plants out front at great prices. Not a very large selection but they looked really good. Most of them. I found some beautiful begonias and geraniums. When I got them home and took them out of the pots they all had nice healthy root systems. They were $3.99 with an additional 30% off. Great deal! But inside there was not much to choose from. Looking at their selection I would say theyre getting ready to close. Which is sad. It was always one of the highlights to go rambling through those old buildings looking for Treasures. The difference in foot traffic when they moved to the new buildings was astonishing. And the selection they carry even when four buildings were fully open was nothing compared to the original. This was one of the highlights in going to Williamsburg. Especially just before the Christmas holiday. Sad to see such a fun shopping tradition come to an end. Although store did not indicate it was closing, the future is not looking very bright. Hopefully, Im wrong.

Stopped by bldg A which is apparently always open. Very large store consisting of housewares, large porcelain pots for plants, Xmas decorations, etc. Its not a grocery store but it does carry some items (i.e. spices, snacks, pastas, wine, etc) so I wouldnt go here for most of your groceries. Seems like masks werent required for staff or guests but store is large enough that I felt safe walking around

The wine festival today was really nice. The Chocovine Chocolate was the best also with some other wines

Havent been there for 33 years. Too bad they put all them buildings. And no people. Yet things are OK. But I like the old way. It was really busy back in them days

The wine selection was outstanding. Staff provided knowledgeable information. Ample parking.

Not what it used to be. sad that it has come so far down. when it was housed in the old location, loads of people were bussed in to shop there. usually a pain to find a parking spot, best deals always found there... great place. and now... no. big beautiful building, huge parking lot and no shoppers. nothing really all that great to go in there for. they have closed down the 2 right side buildings... I guess it will be up for sale before long? shame.

I only give it a 3 star rating because the last time I was there and its been a while it was just the old place when stuff was every where and it was like a treasure hunt not that its not nice now and it is! Just not as much fun!

When we went not all the buildings were open. I am sure this is due to Covid but what was open was clean and organized. All the employees were helpful and friendly. The best deal though was an all beef hotdog and soda for $1.50.

We have gone to the Williamsburg pottery years and years Even though we like the old space we love the new space too! Well be happy to see when theyre fully opened and fully stocked. Still found some great pots for our deck! We will stop by every time we are in Williamsburg!

It doesnt even deserve a star. Theres so many other stuff, of inexpensive value. Yes, there are a few pieces of pottery, but not the quality we had seen 25 years ago.

Customer service is Awesome. My husband did wine tasting, bought a bottle of wine. The wine connoisseur was very helpful and knowledgeable.I will be back!!

I would say if you’re looking for dollar store goods then this is your place. I wouldn’t waste my time. Not what it once was. 😒

This is nothing like the old Williamsburg pottery. Most of a facility is closed and more than half of the parking and one entrance are blocked off. However, its a good place to walk around out of the heat.

Sadly, the pottery just isnt anything like it used to be. It wasnt great when they moved it to this location years ago, but now its just awful. Shelves were pretty bare and only one building was open. It wasnt even worth the stop.

Far cry from the old Williamsburg Pottery. Not too much to see in the new one. Lots of empty shelves, not too many bargins around. If you went to the old stores, you will be disappointed in this new attempt. New is not always better! DISAPPOINTED

I wish I would have read the reviews before we went, definately not the old pottery factory.

Sad after it’s former glory. Maybe more will come in after some times passes. Was pretty disappointed. Does have some nice flowers and pots. If you need to stock a home bar or a rental property this is a good place to try.

Great place friendly service the Manager Chris is wonderful the place has wide selection of items and also options for healthy items such a awesome place

It had what I was looking for. They are down to one building out 10 though. The one building has a good selection though.

Definitely not what I remember from 20 yrs ago

Wasnt exactly what I was expecting. More like shopping at a Gabriel Brothers or giant Big lots.

Nice store and good deals and has hotdogs and soda for $1.50 and it was a big hotdog and good and the young lady was sweet that waited on me

Overpriced dollar tree. What happened? It use to be such a nice place. Most of it is closed down.

This is not the same ole pottery I remember growing up. There is still pottery: vases, plant pots, and ceramic decorations. Several had made in China stickers. Most large plant pots ranged from $55-95. Due to covid, theyve condensed all buildings down in to one location. Theres general kitchen things, garden decorations, home decor, pillows, candles, wine. They have restarted wine tastings. And an ice cream shop was open with limited indoor seating. They had live plants that were 50% when I was there, most looked poorly. Hoping they regain their pizzazz and would love to see local artisans goods there.

Looks nice but I was not aware that many stores are closed? Not reflected on the website.

Been coming out to this little Pottery Barn location for years back when used to be on the other side of the train tracks in a little Outlet Mall outdoor shopping area. Currently all their products are Consolidated to one building due to the pandemic but in a few weeks according to one of the associates they will be opening their other two buildings back up. So for now they are kind of limited on their stock and quantity of items but they have lots of cleaning and disinfecting items real cheap, like 1 to 4 dollars cheap.

Memory of old outside pottery outlet was better.

A ghost town with lots of empty shelves. Perhaps the pandemic impacted their business, as it’s only a shadow of what it was just two years ago. I hope they recover. At least the air conditioning was good.

Lots of odd stiff. Good prices

Only 2 buildings open, shelves bear, prices not much of a bargain. Not the Pottery of 40 years ago. Will not be back

Not your parents Pottery, but kept many of the old buys in a sparkling building. Worth a stop!!

Sad. Liked the original location and shops much better. This is too much like a mall. Only about half of area open due to staffing. Same as everywhere.

This placed has changed drastically from rustic to an organised retail spaces. Interesting to see how this works out

Not like it use to be. A little pricer.

Nice place. Some prices good, others expensive.

Disappointed that only a small portion of stores were open. I guess covid caused this?

I was never at the old one. What I know is this a series of weird stores with weird stuff. I found some interesting stuff, but a ton of the shelves are empty. All of the stuff could probably fit in one store. Its like the buyer has really bad attention span issues.

I miss the OLD Williamsburg pottery. The experience was unlike anything else. The finds the deals all of it. The enviroment was amazing. Worse thing they could have done was close it to build the newwr fancy pottery. Everything changed. It wasnt broke so they shouldnt have fixed it.

Shopped for storage and kitchen gadgets. Theres a little bit of everything here. Each building houses different items. Not busy this time of year. Not a lot of help but did get asked if we needed help. Lady at checkout not friendly but got some good deals.

Original pottery was better, had a lot of variety and lots of outside statues

Sad decline for a once great place. 80%is closed, the rest is junk. Very sad.

Unfortunate. Theres only one building open. And the prices on most items are extreme. A shadow of its former greatness.

Must say I really miss the old Pottery. The new location, while certainly more accessible and modern looking seems dull and most of what for sale looks and even feels cheap. Most of the other buildings are not open to customers and overall is just kinda sad to see what this has become.

I love this place. Its so fun and they have so many different and unique things.

As a little girl I use to hate going here. But now bringing COVID with now where else to go.I love going here. There are so many DIFFERENT thing that you WILL not find anywhere else. I trying to understand way people talk about they can found thing here that are at dollar tree. They have go stuff with great and affordable prices, you should go if you are looking for a item that i very expensive somewhere else .I love it there.

I have to at least give it three stars. Because the guy who kept this part of it open seems to be really trying hard. I got some cool little knick-knacks for the kids and a couple bottles of Cheaper wine. I enjoyed walking around. But everything else is literally close down what a shame and what a waste

Hopefully after Covid it can grow into its potential. Definitely has some nice and unique things

Not what it uses to be, found better prices at other stores

Staff was very friendly and wonderful place to walk around.

Great people and prices but COVID seems like the last straw for the place. Pretty buildings. I hope someone can build it up again.

Pottery has high prices and customer service sucks. My wife & I got booted out because our noses werent covered& nobody was 20 feet from us & wife has severe asthma. Never go back again. Pottery will close down soon. Giving it a 1 star is a lie. Place is a joke. Maybe half a star. Staff are nasty and need training. Thought i saw Joe Biden working there.

Sad that so many shops are closed, shelves not full but friendly staff

Definitely not the old pottery, but they had a Moscato wine I want to try!

SadPottery no moreCheap imports and vast buildings barely filled

Had a interesting visit

Cool place good deals.

1st time shopping there! Great bargains

We always find something new here.

All I can say is as a visitor to the old williamsburg pottery what a HUGE DISAPOINTMENT.

Sad to see only a portion of the buildings open! We were able to find some pottery for flowers and flower boxes!

Variety off things to choose from.

The winery was great

Wonderful place. Something for everyone.

Dont waste your time. Clearly is on the way out.

Love this place my sister and I purchased 10 Gorgeous pots !!

Very disappointed, very small selection of pottery. Why did they try to improve on the original? I havent been in years, and now I doubt Ill ever come back. The prices were extremely high. I found the same pots at the At Home store, cheaper.

So disappointing. Not at all what I remember.

Intresting place to stop in Williamsburg, right off rt60. Large selection of tourist stuff, clean bathrooms and lots of parking.

I would have given it more stars if we werent treated like we were inconveniencing the staff for being there. Seeing as we were the only ones in the entire complex besides one other person that I saw. We got told 4 times that we had an hour left before they closed and then reminded as we kept shopping as the time went down. Its nothing like the old buildings, it did look very nice and I was excited at first. But if youre hoping for the same experience as your childhood as I was its quite disappointing. The prices arent reasonable except for a few sale items and the staff seems bored and ready to leave apparently. It became a vacation joke to stop there for the rest of our week because it was so exciting.. insert sarcasm here. Change and updates are necessary but I believe there needs to be some training on customer relations and better spaces management. There were tons of empty shelves..

Really nice place to shop or just sit around.

Not too much to see, and building was hot. Semi reasonable prices.

Not at all what I was expecting.

Very nice place to do some home shopping. They sell crafts, groceries, kitchen and bedroom needs, and so much more.

What the hell? I came here looking for the pottery factory that I had visited decades ago. Apparently that place is long gone. In its place is a very attractive looking series of small shops. I soon found out that looks can be deceiving though. What looks like 30 small shops from the outside is revealed to be 3 huge buildings filled with cheap Chinese knick knacks that you would expect to find in a dollar store. Worse yet, there is almost no pottery to be found. The place that I remember had hundreds of thousands of pieces of pottery, and thats what I was looking for. The employees were not great either. We showed up a half hour hour before closing time and their only concern was making sure we were out of the store on time so that they didnt have to stay there one more minute. Not once did anyone ask us what we were looking for or if we needed any help finding anything. Very disappointing. Its hard to imagine that this place will be in business much longer as the owners obviously spent millions on the beautiful buildings that house nothing more than a glorified flea market.

SKIP IT! My first sign should have been the fact that we came around 1:00 p.m. on Saturday and there was like 6 cars in the giant parking lot. Although the buildings were beautiful on the outside, I was somewhat expecting POTTERY inside, there was none. It was just 3 giant buildings filled with junk from China or overflow that couldnt be sold from local stores like Dollar General or Big Lots. Zero quality. The flower pots (which I assume is what they were referring to as pottery) were from Taiwan and China, not local. I searched around for about an hour and didnt buy anything.

When I was a little girl we use to go. I remember so many buildings and so much cool stuff. I furnished my first apartment with most of it from there. Now its 3 buildings and looks like a dollar store.

First time to shop here in years. Cleaner and more modern than the old pottery buildings, but not as many bargains. It was fun to spend a couple hours at.

Due to COVID, the shelves are a little bare but still worth the trip.

The old pottery across the railroad tracks was the best it was more to choose from and it attracted a lot of people. They use to have bus loads of people from everywhere to shop there. The new building is nice but its pretty much boring nothing exciting like the old one was.

The original Williamsburg Pottery of thirty years ago had character and sold a lot of locally crafted items. Today, it’s nothing more than a large strip mall selling items easily found elsewhere. My wife and I were disappointed to see the changes and won’t be returning.

Alot of junk and empty shelves. Prices not any better than other stores.Not like the old pottery at all.

Whos in charge here? The oddest shopping experience Ive ever encountered. The people were friendly enough but it felt like what the soviets used to do to pretend they had commercial enterprise. Bare shelves everywhere.What a missed opportunity to leverage a great historical premise. And across from a ready made market in one of the most economically strong retirement communities in the country. The investors in this place must be loosing their tails.

WPF isnt quite what it used to be. Still fun to go shop around.

Disappointed in what its become, many places closed. Perhaps the problem is the pandemic. You can still find something, including wine and glassware.

My comment is for the campground, Since the owner do not wish to pay for the utilities for water and electric and sewer, then she can still make money by allowing Dry Camping which will cost her nothing but to have the sewer dump emptied once every 100 RVers, It is a shame for such a wonderful campground to go to waste.
