Company Background:

Starting in Louisville, Kentucky, and then flourishing in Los Angeles, California, J. A. Bauer Pottery Company created simple, yet beautiful stoneware from the late 1880s to the early 1960s. After the Depression, inspired by the weather and lifestyles of Southern California, Bauer Pottery introduced new, richly colored styles, which met with overwhelming success.

Today, the work of J.A. Bauer has been reintroduced by a Los Angeles ceramics studio, located just minutes from the original plant. The new Bauer line, Bauer 2000, is being reproduced with an emphasis on items originally manufactured in the 1930s and 40s.
