We are offering this vintage, circa 1950’s, Bauer Pottery Matte Black Boat Bowl in the 16” size. Designed by Artist/designer Tracy Irwin. This shape is pretty scarce and this is the only one we have had. There are no cracks nor repairs. There are some light scratches and glaze miss on the bottom which are from the manufacturing as are the tiny misses on the tip of the bowl. Please see our photos as they are part of our description; the photos are of the actual Bauer piece which is in our possession. We have also included an image from the original Bauer catalog displaying this piece (also in Jack Chipman’s book on Bauer pottery. It measures 16” in length,almost 5” wide and 2.5” high. This is very much a statement piece and is a great addition to any decor. I just wish we had more room. We pack well and ship via USPS Priority Mail within the USA lower 48 states only ( or UPS within California). We maintain a non smoking and pet free household.
