How do you identify Jasba pottery marks?
To identify Jasba pottery marks, look for the Jasba name. Most pieces produced by the West German pottery maker will say “JASBA” on the base. The name may appear on its own or be positioned inside a square. Some pieces also read “West Germany.” Pottery from Jasba's N Series will also usually feature a series of numbers preceded by the letter "N." You can use trusted online resources to learn your pottery's style, name and age based on these “N” markings. To get more information about your pottery, use the services of a certified appraiser or experienced antique dealer. On 1stDibs, explore a selection of Jasba pottery.

The handles are interpreted not as functional parts of the design, but as an important aesthetic feature that was commonly used by West German pottery designers and artists in context of Krug Vase (Jug Vase, or Handled Vase) for their expressive possibilities. In this set, the small handles on two Aztec vases...
