Jasba Keramik Vases

German, b. 1926

Jasba, founded in 1926 by Jakob Schwaderlapp in Ransbach-Baumbach, West Germany, quickly became renowned for its innovative ceramic designs and high-quality craftsmanship. The company’s name combines elements from the founder’s name and its hometown. In the 1950s, designer Cilli Wörsdörfer led with matte glazes and subdued colours, while the 1960s saw Christiane Reuter introduce the vibrant “Bunte Welt der Keramik” (Colorful World of Ceramics) line, famous for its bright, glossy finishes. Jasba specialized in experimental shapes and moulded patterns, producing vases and decorative objects in off-white clay, often marked “West-Germany.”

Jasba Aztec Exotica Set of 3 Vases, West German Pottery 1960s

By West German Pottery, Jasba, Jasba Keramik

Located in Clifton Springs, NY

The set of 3 vintage Jasba Keramik vases from the 'Aztec' and 'Mexiko' or 'Maya Tiki' lines of their Exotica series features relief decor, influenced by ancient Pre-Columbian civilizations. The sculptural vases in the set interpret traditional vessel forms like a pitcher in a contemporary vein while referencing Pre-Columbian art with an eclectic twist. The vases are decorated with tone-on-tone ochre brown matte glazes on the outer surfaces and semi-matte black glazes on inner surfaces, allowing the complex reliefs to dominate the composition. The vases feature a central wide band of brutalist, rhythmically spaced mythic animals, derived from archaeology or from a wide range of Folk Art sources. 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...

White glaze with a structured low-relief organic pattern and a controlled, classical form. Bay Keramik was one of the leading West German ceramic manufacturers of the post-war period, recognized for its high production standards and wide distribution across Europe and the United States.
