I have a light tan colored crock that maybe holds 10 galons of water. It has J.A.Bauer Pottery Co, Los Angeles inside an image of an orange that is outlined blue. Above this is the number 6 in the same blue. Again this is not painted. Could you please help me with the approximate age of this crock and what it was used for? Thank you
Gary

this message is to Michael Bush from a feb 2011 message. I just bought a Bauer crock like you described for $80.00, I think that is a good price. It has logo and #5 on it, California made. Can anyone say if this is a good or bad deal.I can not find the crock anywhere in the Bauer inventory

I have a 10.5″ X 10.5″ straight sided lazed pot marked:
J A Bauer
POTTERY CO
los angeles ca
3
on a Blue shield with a large number 3 under the logo the pot is a sandy colored glaze and has no hole in the bottom. It has been in our family for many years. Can you tell me anything about it or suggest a place to look for information? I assume it is a stock catalog garden pot, but from what period?
