This Bauer Coffee Carafe with Lid was made in the mid to late 1930s and falls between the “plain” service and “Ringware” styles. Bauer did not have a master mold maker in the 1930s, so this coffee carafe and a plethora of other shapes were hand thrown via a jiggering process. The clay was thrown while being pressed against a pattern (basically a silhouette of the final shape was cut out of a metal plate). A renown leader in California monochromes was the John Andrew Bauer Pottery of Los Angeles, founded by prosperous Paducah, Kentuckian J. Andreas Bauer (1884-1923) who sought a milder winter climate and realized the potential need for nursery and florist artware in southern California. The four large periodic kilns produced redware flower pots which were the mainstay of income for Bauer Pottery. Bauer Pottery produced hand thrown, slip cast or molded ware, later attracting more customers by offering dinnerware, along with their popular line of flowerpots. Stoneware mixing bowls, small eating bowls (called nappies), ramekins, bean pots, whiskey jugs, and covered crocks were added to the line in later years.
