I was thumbing through the January issue of Family Circle this morning - a gift from the mailman - well, it was in my mail... And I was amazed to find that the Bauer Pottery Company is still in existence! Only two small dishes have survived from my grandmother's collection and I have looked longingly at the vintage plates and teacups and teapots on eBay for years. But now I am thrilled to discover that if I should ever decide that I cannot live without say, a Bauer water pitcher or teapot, I know where I can get one. They even have flower pots - which I never knew. I have a small collection of vintage McCoy flower pots that I once dared to display on my living room mantel - for about a day - until I realized the imminent danger they were in from cavorting cats. I had them on the baker's rack by my front office window, but I noticed the other day how nicely the blue pots would match my bedroom quilt, so they are going home with me. I snagged this cute photo from the Bauer website - this kitty looks just like my cat, Charley, the grumpy grey boy.
