How can you tell if Bauer pottery is vintage?
1 Answer

How you can tell if Bauer pottery is vintage is to look at the markings on the bottom. Bauer's backstamps have changed many times over the years, so the wording and whether or not the mark is raised or recessed can help you roughly determine when it was made. You can find image galleries featuring photos of Bauer's maker's marks on trusted online resources. Compare the pictures to your pottery to estimate its year of production. If your piece is 20 to 99 years old, it is vintage. Pottery made 100 or more years ago is antique. On 1stDibs, shop an assortment of Bauer pottery.
