How do I identify Bauer pottery?

To identify Bauer pottery, examine the bottom of the item. Bauer typically pressed its name into many of its pieces for easy identification. Early pieces will usually say "Bauer" or "Bauer Los Angeles." On items made during the 1930s and later, the markings often read "Bauer Made in USA" or "Bauer USA." If you can't locate a marking, look at photographs of Bauer pottery to see if your item matches. The company is particularly well known for its Ringware, which has a ribbed textural effect and comes in a variety of colors. If you'd like an expert opinion on your piece, enlist the help of a certified appraiser or knowledgeable antique dealer. Find an assortment of Bauer pottery on 1stDibs.
