Happy Holidays!
(...and don't forget to shop the online sale)
Thank you to everyone who shopped at our showroom, online or at one of our many retailers in 2010. We know that though things are getting better slowly, not everyone's back on their feet and ready to buy multiple place settings of ringware.
We appreciate every single one of you, starting with the folks who are just picking up one piece at a time. We hope that the colors of Bauer Pottery were able to brighten everyone's day just a little this year and going forward into 2011.
The showroom is now closed for the holidays and the factory will be taking off some time between Christmas and New Year's, but this may be the best time of year to shop. You can still get some great deals on our factory seconds from our online store. Visit our Holiday Sale page for the link to the seconds sale. The online sale will stay open til 5pm (PST) on Monday, January 3, 2011.
Until next year, we leave you with a few colorful images from the last day of our Holiday Sale at the showroom.

Some of this stuff is still available via the online seconds sale!
See you in 2011!

Bauer Pottery on the Fran Drescher Show
A programming note for all you Bauer Pottery fans: Tune into the Fran Drescher Show tomorrow, Friday, December 17, and watch the segment with designer Kathryn Ireland. There should be a full table set with Bauer Pottery. We weren't able to get any screen shots before air, but we'll post something up as soon as we can.
The show is syndicated, so you'll have to check your local listings for channels and times. It's on at noon on Fox in New York City and 2pm on Fox in Los Angeles. It seems to be on Fox affiliates in most markets and runs somewhere between noon and 2pm. Their official page has listings for most major cities.
New and vintage Bauer and Russel Wright Pottery has appeared recently on shows like Mad Men, Modern Family , The Today Show and Heroes. If you see Bauer or Russel Wright on TV or the movies, let us know and we'll share it here.
Final Showroom Sale Day of 2010
Since we've got the pottery and one more weekend before Christmas, we're going to throw in one more sale date for 2010.
Come by the Showroom on Saturday, December 18, and you'll get an additional discount off of the already low seconds prices.
Another reason to stop by the sale, Ride or Fry (a.k.a. Dante Fried Chicken) will be stopping by the sale to serve up his great fried chicken and sides. They may not get the same press as fusion tacos, but this is easily one of the best new food trucks in L.A.

Scenes from the Holiday Sale 2010 - Weekend 2
Try as you might, all of you wonderful Bauer fans have not been able to buy every last item from the showroom. What that means is that we'll be here for one more day, Saturday, December 18, for the last sale day in 2010.
We have plenty of pottery and you'll still be able to get great deals for yourself or the couple of friends still on your shopping list.
Not in L.A? Don't worry, our online sale will launch on Monday, December 20 at noon (PST). Visit our Holiday Sale page on Monday to shop.
Until then, a few scenes from weekend two of the sale.
Janek talks with Chef Jack of Clean Street Food Truck. Clean Street was a last minute addition to Saturday and they were great. They've been on the road for barely a week, but everyone loved their food.

Decisions, decisions...
On Sunday, Jessica & Christina of Global Soul Street Eats stopped by to serve up lunch to our customers and crew. Their menu was another hit. Track them down on the streets of L.A. as soon as you can.

Scenes from the Holiday Sale 2010 - Weekend 1
Did you miss the first weekend of the Holiday Sale? Well, that's okay because there will be plenty more Bauer and Russel Wright pottery available this weekend at the Showroom.
We don't have a food truck scheduled for Saturday [UPDATE: Overnight, we had a late addition to Saturday's schedule. Clean Street Food Truck will be coming by for the lunch our on Saturday 12/11, 11am-2pm!], but all of you Sunday shoppers will have a chance to sample cuisine from Global Soul Street Eats, one of L.A.'s newest street food vendors.
Look at their menu and you'll see that "global" is the keyword with Global Soul featuring items like the curry Shrimp Toastie (below left), Middle Eastern flavored Babylon Taco (below right) and the Mediterranean-influenced Mini Lamb Gyros. We suggest shopping for pottery first and then relaxing with some great street food from around the world after.
We look forward to seeing you at the showroom soon, until then please enjoy the following images from this past weekend's sale.
