Pottery Barn is an American-based chain of home furnishing stores with stores in the United States and Canada. It is a wholly owned subsidiary of Williams-Sonoma, Inc.

The company, headquartered in San Francisco, California, currently operates 200 retail stores in the United States and Canada under its main brand, as well as an ecommerce site at www.potterybarn.com. Pottery Barn also operates several brand-concept specialty retailers under the Pottery Barn Bed + Bath, Pottery Barn Kids, PBteen and Threads.

In 2008 the company opened a store at Plaza Las Americas in Hato Rey, Puerto Rico, a district of the capital San Juan. Plaza Las Americas is the first American-style shopping mall in Puerto Rico, as well as the largest such retail center in the Caribbean and one of the largest in the southeastern United States.

Appearances in popular culture

After Jennifer Aniston's character Rachel Green in the American television sitcom Friends bought furniture from Pottery Barn in the episode The One with the Apothecary Table (first broadcast on January 6, 2000), many viewers also sought the store's products. The episode is often derided as an infomercial for Pottery Barn, as it centers around their furniture (see also product placement).

In The Simpsons episode "Lisa the Sceptic" when the angel is found to be an advertising gimmick for the new shopping mall, the entire neighbourhood visits the mall anyway. When Chief Wiggum sees it, the first thing he says is "Hey, it's even got a Pottery Barn"

The Seinfeld episode "The Junk Mail" has Kramer receiving multiple Pottery Barn catalogues, and he takes revenge by throwing them back into the store.
