description Bauer Pottery Overview

Bauer Pottery was an American ceramics company that moved its operations to Los Angeles in 1910. The historical company first produced utilitarian earthenware and later became associated with brightly colored dinnerware, especially Ringware, whose concentric molded bands appear around plates, bowls, and other forms. The original factory closed in 1962, while a later company acquired the trademark and began reproducing selected Bauer designs in updated lead-free glazes.
