Bauer Pottery - Moonsong Casserole Dish

This Bauer casserole dish was created during the companies final year of production in 1961.
The Moonsong collection, is a possible nod to the Tiki/Polynesian/Brasilia craze of the late 50s and early 60s.
Pretty limited in production (and pieces) and therefore a rare find - especially in this condition.
More info can be found in the book: Bauer - Classic American Pottery, by Mitch Tuchman.
