I came across this nice single handle bean pot the other day at the thrift store, sans lid. I originally believed it to be a Bauer item, based entirely on the glaze. I earlier found a Fred Johnson Bowl with the same orange-brown rust-colored glaze. The shape does seem to be consistent with other Bauer bean pots I’ve seen online.

Unfortunately, like a lot of Bauer I’ve come across at the thrift, this doesn’t seem to have any markings on the bottom - or perhaps it’s obscurred by the glaze which is rather thick. It’s a heavy item, similar in heft to the Spice Jar I found earlier.

The single handle on the pot seems to be hand-applied - it’s put on a little crooked. I’ve been trying to determine if it was handthrown or came from a mold - I can’t seem to find the mold line, but that could easily be because the glaze is so thick that it covered it up.

In any case, I like the glaze a lot on it, and perhaps this will eventually become the home of a succulent or two.
