Colors

Bauer Pottery Company of Los Angeles is reproducing the Bauer line of vintage American pottery in limited quantities using many of the original colors and styles.

Vintage Bauer Pottery often used leaded glazes. Bauer 2000 has formulated lead free versions of many of the classic colors, as well as expanding the palette with new variations to appeal to contemporary tastes.


In the spirit of the original manufacturing process pigments are blended to create a vibrant palette of colors. The swatches below give a sense of the spectrum of glazes that are offered. The top row of swatches represents some of the more popular classic colors.

Subtle variation in color between firings gives each piece of Bauer 2000 pottery a unique hand crafted quality much like Vintage Bauer pottery. The similarity can be so strong that even avid collectors have had to look twice to be sure it was not vintage . To prevent the possibility of confusion, we imprint "Bauer 2000" on the bottom of each piece.

During the firing process, glaze colors sometimes shift from the intended palette too much to pass quality control. These color shifted items are treasured collectors items as they are truly unique and almost always incredibly beautiful. These "seconds" have heretofore been unavailable to the general public.
With the opening of our online shop, for the first time we will have the ability to offer these special variations for sale as special limited editions. Subscribe to our email list and be the fist to know when seconds and specials are posted.
