Hello littleirishannie,
I am not an expert but I am a Bauer collector with a large Bauer collection of my own. I was actually trying to find the value of another piece when I came across this site and your post. What you have looks to me to be a Ray Murray piece from his Gloss Pastel Kitchenware (GPK) line, produced in 1941 when he was a potter with Bauer. The gradually increasing distance in the rings/bands as they move upward was Murray's unique design. It is a nice piece but I would guess (and that's all I am doing) is that it would be worth somewhere between $35-$50. I have his cookie jar from that same line and it is in excellent condition, a more pricey piece but a wonderful addition to my collection. Please remember, I am just a collector of Bauer and not and expert but if you look up Bauer/Ray Murry or GPK you may be better able to identify your piece.
I hope this helps. Enjoy your Bauer,
Diane
