Cemar Pottery

Q: This small blue clay pot marked "Cemar" is from my mother's estate. It’s 3 1/4 inches tall and 4 inches wide. I’d like to find out if it has any value.

 

A: Cemar Clay Products Co. was in business in Los Angeles from about 1935 to 1957. It was founded by Cliff Malone and Paul Cauldwell, two former employees of Bauer Pottery. The company made art ware, figurines, and solid-color dinnerware. Some pieces are also marked with a design number. A vase like yours sells for about $15 to $20.
