About the Item

Pair of ceramic vases, Germany, late 1960s. Height : 36cm - 14.2 in. , Diameter : 26cm - 10.2 in. Jasba mark under the base. Jasba label on the neck. Can be mounted as lamps. Jasba Keramik vases from the 1950s to the 1970s are particularly sought after by collectors and vintage ceramic enthusiasts due to their avant-garde designs, bold colours and craftsmanship. This period was marked by a significant change in decorating styles, and Jasba played a key role in this transition with designs that stood out for their modern aesthetic and innovative character. Jasba vases from the 50s-70s are famous for their often abstract and organic shapes, inspired by natural forms or modern geometric shapes. We find fluid curves, clean lines, as well as sculptural silhouettes. The influence of the Mid-Century Modern movement is evident, with a design that seeks to combine functionality and aesthetics, creating decorative objects while remaining utilitarian. The color palette used by Jasba during this period was bold and varied. Bright hues such as orange, blue, green, and yellow were frequently used, often in contrast with more neutral tones or matte finishes. Vases were often glazed with rough or smooth textures, creating interesting visual effects. Some models feature cracked glaze finishes, which add an extra dimension to the design. The salt glazing technique was also used, which gives a unique and irregular look to each piece. Patterns and Ornamentation: Although the forms were often minimalist, some pieces feature geometric patterns or decorative elements such as incised lines, imprints, or reliefs carved into the ceramic. The designs were often simple but elegant, sometimes inspired by Art Deco or Art Nouveau, while being modernized according to the tastes of the time. Jasba vases were handcrafted, and each piece had its own character, even though they were mass-produced. This contributes to the appeal of these objects, as each vase bears the imprint of craftsmanship. The ceramics used were generally of high quality, with glazes that were resistant to wear and tear while still providing visually striking results. The design of Jasba vases from this period is deeply influenced by the architectural trends of the time, including the Bauhaus movement and modernized Art Deco. The emphasis was on clean lines, the use of space, and simple but dynamic forms. These vases were not only decorative objects, but also style statements, often displayed in modern and elegant interiors, combined with Scandinavian-style furniture or decorations inspired by the 50s. Pieces from this period are often stamped with the Jasba logo, which allows them to be easily identified. The logo was usually written on the bottom of the vase or sometimes engraved directly on the piece. Depending on the period, some vases may have specific markings or signs indicating the year of production or model numbers, although this information is not always systematically present. Why are they sought after today? Jasba vases from the 1950s to 1970s have become sought-after collectibles by vintage design enthusiasts and interior designers. Their rarity, quality of manufacture and aesthetic impact make them valuable pieces for collectors. In addition, their popularity in modern and retro interiors has anchored them in 20th-century design culture, and they are often used to add a touch of elegance or character to contemporary spaces. In summary, Jasba vases from the 1950s to 1970s are a great example of innovation in post-war ceramic design, where traditional craftsmanship meets modern movements to create pieces that are both contemporary and contemporary.
