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.
