Los Angeles | A Ceramics Shop Straight Out of the Last Century 🏺✨

✨Bauer Pottery (Frogtown) 📍3051 Rosslyn St, Los Angeles 🕰️ Open Weekends Only 🥣 - Bauer Pottery’s history dates all the way back to 1885 🌾, originally founded in Kansas before moving to Los Angeles in the 1930s. It became hugely popular across American households 🏡 for its brightly colored plates, bowls, and cups—a true mid-century icon! - After decades out of production, the current owner Janek Boniecki acquired the trademark in 1998. Using original vintage molds, Bauer now produces reissued classics 🌀 with fresh color palettes. Even better—the new pieces are free from harmful elements like lead and uranium (commonly used in early ceramics for vibrant hues 🎨). - In addition to faithful reproductions, Bauer also collaborates on special collections with famous artists and designers like Corita Kent and Russel Wright. 💡 - The Frogtown showroom feels half-warehouse, half-gallery—and walking in, you’re instantly surrounded by walls filled with unbelievably gorgeous ceramics 😍! The colors are incredibly rich and totally retro (think: *Desperate Housewives*, classic American shows 🖥️, vintage movie vibes… you get it!). - Their website offers super detailed product info and highlights collaborations and the special Frogtown line—so fun to explore! 💰 Prices are surprisingly affordable for a ceramics brand with this much heritage. Lots of people come here to stock up on beautiful dinnerware! 🛍️ 🍽️ If you love tableware or retro design, this place is absolutely worth the trip (and while you're there, don’t miss exploring the Frogtown / LA River area!). 🌊🚶‍♀️ #LosAngeles #LALife #UniqueShops #VintageStyle #CeramicLover #MidCenturyDesign #ShopLocal #FrogtownLA #AffordableArt #RetroVibes
