The
2003 exhibit at the Autry Museum of Western Heritage titled
California Pottery: From Missions to Modernism was
an "unprecedented exhibition drawn from forty-seven California
collections and documents a significant aspect of the Golden
State’s contribution to American design," according
to the Autry
Museum web site. They go on to say, "Its displays
of aesthetically and historically significant tableware, gardenware,
and tiles were produced by forty-four of the more than 600
commercial potteries that flourished here between 1900 and
1955. They range from color-splashed interpretations of traditional
forms to radical innovations that changed the way we have
lived for almost a century."
Bauer Pottery
Company was commissioned to create limited edition reproductions
of a classic Hostessware demitasse coffee pot c. 1934. Below
are excerpts about the coffee pot from the Autry
Museum web site
