About Tableau
Tableau on King, formerly the Polish Pottery Gallery of Charleston, is a boutique shop on King Street in Charleston, SC, that sells unique tableware, including over 4,000 pieces of Polish pottery. Tableau is a destination for distinctive tableware, bakeware, and dishes that encourage locals and visitors alike to create unique and memorable tablescapes. Tableau captures the essence of loved ones savoring a meal around a breathtaking table, set with the perfect combination of tableware, from linens to silverware and stoneware to candlesticks.
Tableau is the savvy entertainer’s destination for inspiration and decor to create the perfect setting for gatherings of any size. The stoneware Tableau carries is handmade and hand-painted in Poland. Not only are the over 1,800 patterns in the store beautiful as show pieces for a collector, but they’re also durable and meant to be enjoyed for everyday dining or special occasions.
About the Owners
Tableau is a second act for owners Sandra and Phil Ericksen, who have lived in the Lowcountry since 1998. Phil brings his business savvy to retail after a decades-long career in healthcare, while Sandra is a natural in the space after owning a boutique interior design firm in Charleston for over 20 years.
When presented with the opportunity to own the former Polish Pottery Gallery of Charleston, the Ericksens were inspired by the ease at which Polish pottery takes center stage in a gorgeous tablescape. With the vision of using tableware to create a picturesque scene, the idea for Tableau was born.
When Sandra and Phil aren’t immersed in all things Tableau, you can find them at one of Charleston’s local parks with their dog, Moose.
