Bauer Pottery is one of the more, if not the most, collected of the California potters. Andy Bauer started off his pottery career in Louisville, KY sometime in the late 1800\'s. In 1909 Andy moved to Los Angeles, California and became a part of the growing Arts and Crafts movement with an additional pottery manufacturing facility. In the 1940\'s he opened another plant in Atlanta Georgia. Generally, they used marks including \"Bauer\" and \"Bauer Los Angeles\" in the 1920s and 30s. \"Bauer Made in USA\" or \"Bauer USA\" on pieces produced in the 1940s and 50s. Certain color glazes can also assist in identifying the period an item was produced (for example, uranium orange-red). The company closed as a result of a Union strike in 1962. Only about half of the wares are marked. However, a dealer or collector familiar with Bauer’s work can identify them easily.Please see additional Bauer pottery items as we are downsizing our entire collection of antiques and collectibles, 35 plus years of treasure hunting.Note that the last two photos are of my pottery collection I am selling and this sale is for only the item stated in title line.
