Bauer Pottery 2000

 

In 1930 in Los Angeles, J.A. Bauer began to produce a new line of slipcast Artware called California Colored Pottery that included vividly colored glazed ceramic vases, oil jars, planters, and jardinieres. New products and colorware designs were continuously introduced until operations ceased in 1961.

Having captured the attention of antique collectors across the country for decades J.A. Bauer's vintage artware enjoyed an ardent following.

In 1998, current owner Janek Boniecki acquired the trademark and launched Bauer Pottery 2000. The new company began by deriving new molds from preexisting J.A. Bauer designs by Russell Wright as well as Tracy Irwin – sometimes tweaking them for the 21st century.

Contemporary artware collectors can feel confident knowing that Bauer Pottery 2000 is glazed as vividly as the original line, retaining the brand's signature colorways that are modernized with completely food safe formulas.
