Scenes from the March Showroom Sale

It probably wasn't even 10am when this was shot. People showed up early and the rain started coming down, so we couldn't leave the Bauer faithful out in the cold.


T-shirts now available!

More pitchers coming out from the back room.


Commerce!




The Grilled Cheese Truck stopped by with what else but grilled cheese sandwiches, tomato soup and tater tots for all the hungry shoppers. Perfect lunch for a rainy day.


See you in April!

Marching On

It's been two and a half months since we closed the doors on the 2009 Holiday Sale. It seems like we've barely had time to recover and restock and it's already time for the first monthly sale of 2010.

We haven't been resting on our laurels, though. The first half of January was spent fulfilling orders from our online seconds sale. Manufacturing has been in full swing to restock from the holidays and to keep up with new orders. Janek also travelled to New York, in the middle of all the snow storms to show off Bauer, Russel Wright and the new Sunset line at the New York International Gift Show.

Readers of Sunset magazine will have gotten the first glimpse of our newest project. Our contribution to the new "Home by Sunset" line of products includes current Bauer pieces like the Jardinieres and Garden Orbs, as well as new pieces such as the Swirl Pot, the Biltmore, the Canoe and the 24" Oil Jar Fountain. The first pieces are available here. More details to come soon.

If you'll be here in Southern California this coming weekend, March 6 & 7, be sure to stop by the showroom for the sale. All of the details are available over on the Bauer Pottery site, but I will let you know that after the successful visits by the Kogi BBQ and Buttermilk Trucks at the Holiday Sale, we'll be having the Grilled Cheese Truck
stopping at the Showroom on Saturday the sixth. The line for their truck at the recent L.A. Street Food Fest had a wait of over two hours at one point, so don't miss out on what promises to be a much shorter wait.

If you couldn't find what you were looking for at the December sale, be sure to stop on by this weekend. We have plenty of new seconds in stock from both the Bauer Pottery and Russel Wright American Modern lines.

Rain dampened the parking lots, but not the spirits of the Bauer fans who came to shop.

The Buttermilk Truck stopped in to warm up the customers and employees with delicious breakfast treats.

Holiday Sale 2009 - Weekend #2

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.

Food Trucks Roll Up to the Bauer Sale

This year's Holiday Sale will combine one of Los Angeles' oldest institutions, Bauer Pottery, with one of it's newest, the Nouveau Food Truck.

On Saturday, December 5th from noon to 3pm, the most famous purveyor of mobile cuisine in Southern California, the Kogi BBQ Truck, will be parking out front, selling their unique fusion of Korean food and taco truck fare.

If you come out early on the second Saturday of the sale, December 12, you'll be able to try one of the newest entries in the new food truck race, the Buttermilk Truck. They specialize in fun, new takes on breakfast food that appeals at any hour of the day. The Buttermilk Truck will be here from 8am to noon, so come out early and fuel up before a morning of pottery shopping!
