That's SOOOOO LA: Bauerware

www.bauerpottery.com

After a month in LA, I'm freezing my buns off here in NYC and dreaming of all things LA. I was just milling around the website of Bauerware, the Los Angeles-based pottery company that manufactures Bauer 2000 pottery, styled after Bauer vintage American pottery. My grandmother had a gorgeous collection of vintage Bauerware and taught me that there is nothing more LA than a Bauerware bowl filled with guacamole.

Isn't that cake stand rainbow delicious? The Bauerware line comes in fourteen colors. Aqua is what reminds me of Grandma, and of azure oceans and backyard pools, and the tile in my mother's kitchen. The line also includes dinnerware, drinkware, and household items like dog bowls and candlesticks.

Although I have to say, maybe it's being back in New York, but this black cake stand is beckoning. How amazing would a stack of red velvet cupcakes look on it?

• Check out Bauer Pottery Company of Los Angeles
• If you happen to be in LA this weekend, check out the Bauerware Showroom Sale. March 7-8, 10am-5pm.

sigh, so expensive $50 for a butter dish (it is the most awesome butter dish ever)

I love the aqua stuff - I have a vintage square aqua platter that comes out on special occasions.

Those are beautiful! I am obsessed with cake stands (although I hardly ever use mine, and they are probably the hardest thing to store ever!!)

I love these. Wouldn't it be lovely to have one of each displayed on a shelf? One can dream...sigh...

my mom has a nice collection of vintage bauer and I can't wait to get my hands on it one day... (that sounded more sinister than I intended.)

I also happen to know that those Cake Stands you covet are less than half price!
