Sunset Magazine - September, 2008

Someone over at Sunset magazine must love us. This is the third time this year that Bauer has made an appearance in the magazine. This time we made the cover with our newest piece, the Garden Orb.

While not reproduction of any piece from the vintage Bauer line, the Garden Orbs are the latest addition to the Bauer 2000 line and we think that they fit in nicely with the feel and style of all of our classic Bauer designs.

Check out the current issue of Sunset as well as our site for more on the new Garden Orbs.

Hallmark Magazine, Things We Make Blog - July 3, 2008

Wow... looks like the Water Carafe and Tumblers are popular!

Amy Palanjian, who writes the "Things We Make" blog at the Hallmark Magazine site has also featured the two pieces in today's post.

There's a nice image of the Carafe and Tumblers in bright colors along with a recent shot of the company's owner, Janek Boniecki. Though that picture was shot on the occasion of the Highland Citrus Festival, we'd like to point out that Janek comes into the factory dressed like that every day.

Rare Vintage Piece Brings High Price on eBay

Detail from eBay page (click image for full-size view)

In all the excitement over the article in the Los Angeles Times (see previous post), we haven't gotten around to mentioning a big sale that went down at the end of last week.

A vintage Bauer Cigarette Holder in Jade Green sold for $2,225.00 on eBay. We here at the Bauer Pottery Company saw the auction earlier in the week and tossed in our two cents (or possibly a little more) to see if we could snag this very rare piece that we'd not seen before.

By the time the auction had ended, the price had shot way past our maximum bid. The winners of the auction are Dan & Donna Edwards over at Spring Creek Pottery, who have been a good customers, selling the Bauer 2000 line for many years now.

Contacted about their new acquisition, they sounded like proud new parents:

Dan & Donna Edwards, owners of Spring Creek Pottery and avid vintage Bauer pottery collectors, are very excited with their newest acquisition: a Jade Green 1930’s Cigarette jar. It will be proudly displayed next to a very rare Bauer single bee Honey Jar and #9 white mixing bowl!

It's always interesting to see something new, or at least new to us, pop up like this. It did get us thinking about the utility of this piece. Would a smoker care if there was lead in the glaze of his or her cigarette holder?
