Holiday Sale - Weekend 2 Preview

Holiday Sale 2011 - Weekend 1

The second weekend of the Holiday Sale is just around the corner, so we're going to throw out a refresher for both returning a first time shoppers.

The Bauer Pottery showroom is where all of our "seconds" end up.  What are seconds?  They are the not-quite-perfect pieces that come out of the factory.  Nothing broken, nothing chipped, just a little glaze skip here, a pinhole there. Most of the time we have to point out the flaw to our customers.  Our standards are pretty high, if we do say so ourselves (and we do say so).

Holiday Sale - Weekend 2

Since the pieces are not firsts, the prices aren't either.  Everything in the showroom starts at 30% off of retail.  If a piece is slightly less than a second, we'll knock off a few more dollars.  The added bonus at the Holiday Sale is that we double down on the discounts.  Last weekend was an additional 20% off of the discounted showroom price.  This weekend, that discount goes up to 25%.

Another reason to come to the Holiday Sale this weekend?  Grilled cheese!

It's been over 20 months since their last visit, but the Grilled Cheese Truck will be making another stop at the showroom this Saturday, from 11am to 2pm.  That means buttery crunchy bread, melty cheese, tomato-y soup and so much more deliciousness.


What's that?  You don't live near Southern California, but you still would like to shop for seconds?  We have you covered.  Starting on December 19th, we'll post a selection of seconds on our web store.  Since it takes a bit more work to move pieces back to the factory to pack and ship, the discounts aren't quite as deep, but you're still getting a great deal.  The only possible downside is that the online seconds will not ship until after the first of the year.  Just think of it as an after-Christmas sale that you get to shop before Christmas.

2011 Holiday Sale!

Holiday Sale - Showroom Sign

It seems like just 12 months ago we were telling you about last year's annual Holiday Sale.

If you can think past next week's festivities and feasting and football, take a moment to jot down the dates for this year's sale in your calendar (iPhone 4s users just ask Siri to remind you).

Saturday & Sunday
December 3 & 4 and 10 & 11
9am - 5pm

We have lots of pottery on the shelves, as we do every year. We'll also have some new pieces from the Corita by Bauer line.

We're also excited to have some great food trucks back for the sale. Starting of on the first Saturday, December 3rd, we'll have Lidia's Dominican Kitchen.

Lidia's Dominican Kitchen: Exterior

They serve up great Dominican fare, as you may have already surmised. I'd recommend the Pernil or the Patacon Pisao.

Happy Holidays!

(...and don't forget to shop the online sale)

Holiday Sale 2010 - Final Day

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.

Final Showroom Sale Day of 2010

Bauer Pottery Holiday Sale 2010 - Weekend 1

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.

Dante Fried Chicken Truck: brisket, fried chicken, mac & cheese

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

Holiday Sale - 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.

Scenes from the Holiday Sale 2010 - Weekend 1

Bauer Pottery 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.

Holiday Sale 2010!

8 Inch Oil Jar

The temperature has finally dropped below the mid-80s, so it must be the holiday season in Southern California. If you're in town for the first couple of weekends in December, please come by our showroom for the annual Holiday Sale. All of the details, including location, dates and times, can be found on the Holiday Sale page.

In addition to a big inventory of Bauer Pottery seconds, we'll also have Russel Wright® American ModernTM and for the first time, we'll have selections from the Home by Sunset collection available at the sale.

Please note that seconds ordered via the web store will not be shipped until after the holidays.

We're also very excited to have several of L.A.'s popular new food trucks stopping by the sale. So far, we've confirmed the South Philly Experience for Saturday, December 4 and Frysmith for Sunday December 5. Check back here or on the Holiday Sale page for news about trucks scheduled for the rest of the sale.

We're looking forward to seeing you at the showroom!

Support Public Radio, Get Some Bauer Pottery


If you're a fan of Bauer Pottery, great music and NPR programs, you can support all of those habits by subscribing to KCRW during the current pledge drive.

We've provided the Los Angeles-based public radio station KCRW with ten $100.00 gift certificates that they are offering as premiums this week.

Please note, that you do not have to be in the Los Angeles area to take advantage of this offer. KCRW streams live over the internet, so you can call in and subscribe from anywhere.

Gift certificates are redeemable over the phone or in-person at our Showroom & Holiday Sales.

Now we don't know when they'll offer the Bauer gift certificates, so you'll have to listen for your chance, but there are far worse things that you can do than spend some time listening to KCRW.

Holiday Sale 2009 - Weekend #2

Bauer Holiday Sale: 17 hrs. until the doors open

Just a quick reminder that we'll be back again this weekend, December 12 & 13 with more Bauer and more Russel Wright!

We made two trips to the factory and took every last second available and grabbed all the overstock we could find, so there may be some pristine firsts mixed in with those seconds you'll be looking at this weekend.

There's also been a glaze firing since last weekend, so if you're looking for pieces in Mango or Teal, we'll have them.

Also, don't forget to bring your appetite. The Buttermilk Truck will be showing up before we open with yummy breakfast treats. They even put up a nice blog post about they're upcoming visit.

Visit our Holiday Sale page for all the information you'll need for this weekend.

If you missed the sale last week, see below for a small gallery of images from the weekend.
