A Bauer Pot in Postcards 4

Bauer Black, Vintage, Mid-Century Jardine Vase.

I thought it just a dirty, black bowl and passed it by. Later in the morning, I took a couple of photographs of it then turned it over. Bauer, it said. I knew that Bauer was one of the best of the California potters, and I even own two of their largest bowls. As I left the store, I pointed out to one of our volunteers that the bowl had water spots and needed washing.

This morning, after the gym and breakfast, I tried to look up this bowl on the internet. In an hour of research, I found only one similar bowl, but it had no price. Other black pieces run from seventy five dollars to a hundred something. I think I will run down to the store this morning to make sure it got washed and priced fairly and get it up off floor level. That might be nice.

• Himself: Tidy house, Gym, work, planning something for after dinner.
• Herself: Managed to get started half an hour late, but got a pot roast started in my new slow cooker that I have been afraid to use…everything in the old one came out dark brown.
• Reading: The new Hillerman. So far good.
• Balance: Sprinkles and black skies.
