Citron yellow and Bordeaux drip glaze • marked 'N 602 10 16' • West Germany • ca. 1960–1975

Trumpet vase by Jasba in citron yellow, with Bordeaux-red runners dripping over the shoulder to a black foot. The Bordeaux lies over the citron yellow and flowed out during firing. On the shoulder it breaks into fine speckles; lower down it pools into tongues toward a moss-green band. On a windowsill or sideboard the glossy citron yellow catches the daylight.

For this object a Buy now price has also been set, for those who want to acquire it immediately without waiting.

Description:

A flaring, rounded rim on a straight neck, below it a clock-form body on a lightly constricted foot. The vase is poured in a mold; the Jasba stamp is relief on the base. The glaze is smooth and glossy, the speckle zone feels slightly raised. The interior is olive green with black. Model N 602 exists in sizes from 16 to 40 centimeters and in more color combinations; this is the compact version in citron yellow, Bordeaux and black.

About the maker:

Jakob Schwaderlapp founded Jasba in 1926 in Baumbach, in the Westerwald. That region is called the Kannenbäckerland, the land of the potters. From 1937 Jasba produced glazed ceramics. In the 1960s and 1970s followed decorative ceramics with flowing and speckled glazes, the work collectors now call West German Pottery. In the early seventies that production faded; since 1981 the company makes only tiles, as Jasba Mosaik.

In interior design:

Fits in a mid-century, retro or eclectic interior, on a sideboard, windowsill or bookshelf. The citron yellow brightens in daylight, the black foot gives the vase a sturdy base.

Good. Rim, neck and body: no chips, hairlines or restorations observed. Interior: without defects. Unglazed foot ring: light soiling. The runners and speckle layer are production-specific. See the images. Offered as a decorative object, not intended for use with foods.
