Bauer Batter Bowl
« on: September 30, 2012, 12:14:20 pm »
I can't find anything on this batter bowl by Bauer.  As you can see from the pictures, it is not one of their Ringware pieces.  I have looked everywhere I know where to look but have come up with nothing that looks like this piece.

It has a couple of chips, as are shown in the pictures.

HELP!

I'm from the South - but please don't mistake my Southern Manners/Accent/Charm as a weakness!

Like this one?  You don't see many of these but see lots of the ring ware!

Kind of like the one on ebay, but the one I have is angular!  All the Bauer stuff I have seen has very smooth lines.  I don't know if that makes this one more or less valuable.

I can tell you that with the damage to your piece unless it is a VERY RARE piece or a one of a kind it will be worth very little. Most pottery collectors are like glass collectors and damage to a piece is a no way!!!Like I said unless the piece is Very rare or one of a kind. I would find the most current books you can on the subject and see how rare this piece is. I do not have any books unpacked in my library that have a lot of info on Bauer. I did find Bauer called your piece a beater pitcher.

Thanks, Wendy.  That's kind of what I thought, but I am finding out through this forum, that things aren't always what they seem!

Again, thanks for your insight.
