The Bauer company was launched in Kentucky in 1885 by John Andrew Bauer under the name Paducah Pottery. It manufactured an assortment of functional stoneware pieces, including whiskey jugs and mixing bowls, along with red clay flowerpots. Bauer relocated the firm to Los Angeles in the early 1900s, and in 1910, J.A. Bauer Pottery Co. was established.
