The vase features a classic baluster form with a rounded shoulder, gently tapered body, and flared foot—an elegant, well-balanced silhouette characteristic of early Bauer designs.

Finished in Bauer’s rich ink blue glaze, the surface shows a deep cobalt tone with a high-gloss finish, prized for its depth and luminous quality. Dark blue glazes were especially popular in the 1910s–1920s, reflecting the era’s preference for bold, saturated ceramic colors.

A strong example of early California pottery, this vase showcases Bauer’s early craftsmanship, weight, and refined form, making it equally suited as a decorative object or functional flower vase.
