Ceramano was founded in 1959 by Jakob Schwaderlapp, who also started Jasba. The company was created to provide higher-end art ceramic pieces to complement the less expensive, mass-produced Jasba lines. Ceramano pieces were more like studio ceramics, as they were of better quality and were sometimes more experimental. Although most companies used molds to speed production, some Ceramano pieces were made by hand. Many of the bases of Ceramano vases are hand-marked and include the name of the decor (style/line). The principal designers, although there were others, were Hans Welling and Gerda Heuckenroth. You might remember from the previous post in this series that Heuckenroth also designed for Carstens. In the 1970s, as studio ceramics lost their popularity, Ceramano bought the Waku Feuerfest Keramik factory in order to step up their mass-production, but this venture proved unsuccessful, and the company closed in the 1980s. Note: I encourage you to go to the websites I cite in this series. They do a much more thorough job of providing information on each company, as this series is meant only to be an overview. On those sites, you will find a wealth of specific information about designers, decors and production methods. In particular, Ginny and Forrest Poston of Gin-For's Odditiques do an outstanding job of explaining the markings of each company.

Fat lava vase by Strehla, E.Germany 60s - 70s Lava glazes that amaze The Lava glaze ceramics of the 60's were an extension of the Bauhaus design concept of creating affordable decorative arts for mass consumption during the middle of the 20th century. The manufacturing process was simplified with the use of pottery casting molds and the application of a diverse variety of glazes by the enamelers and glaze technicians. This was combined with applying integrated craft procedures to produce large numbers that maintained an aesthetic appeal of high quality. The first 'lava'glaze appeared in 1967,
