Vase - Ceramic

Very rare blue fat lava Ceramano Incrusta 219 vase, abstract design vase from the oeuvre of Hans Welling, top quality West German pottery from the late 60s.

The decoration consists of a sandy-brown granular glaze with speckles, glossy red with on top a glossy fat lava drip glaze in fantastic shades of dark and petrol blue, an absolute top piece for the serious collector or lover of West German ceramics.

Ceramano was the brainchild of Jakob Schwaderlapp, the founder of Jasba Keramik. He set up the sister factory in 1959 to produce high-quality ceramics, artistic and often experimental, as a complement to the mass-produced lines of Jasba. Previously, the production of such items was limited to small workshops. Schwaderlapp's concept was to imitate the look and feel of craftsmen's work using modern production methods. The company went to the Frankfurt Spring Fair with an extensive product range, and designer Hanns Welling was introduced as the man responsible for all Ceramano shapes and decors. Welling remained at the helm until 1962 when the position of chief designer was transferred to Gerda Heuckeroth.

In very good vintage condition, some tiny superficial scratches on the blue glaze and a small production flaw, an imperfection in the glaze at the lower rim of the vase (looks like a chip but is not damage), but nothing noticeable, as almost all of them had a production fault, because these are handmade objects; check the photos for more details!
