American Made from Bauer pottery, founded in Los Angeles in 1909, became famous for its vibrant, hand-thrown dinnerware that defined California's casual lifestyle. Their cups and saucers featured bold solid colors like chartreuse, cobalt blue, and bright orange that revolutionized American table settings in the 1930s and 1940s.
Crafted from sturdy earthenware with a distinctive hand-turned quality, these pieces embodied simple modernist design. With Bauer's rights to produce the American Made line having just expired, the pieces currently available represent the last ever made, making them especially significant for collectors and enthusiasts of this cherished American pottery tradition.
