A well formed jug vase from Ceramano Keramik in the mottled green and brown 'Elba' decor designed by Hanns Welling in 1960.  This is a flawless example of form number 212 (d.1959), and the quality of the decor is exemplary.  a perfect collector's item.

CERAMANO was the brainchild of Jakob Schwaderlapp, the founder of Jasba Keramik.  He set up the sister factory in 1959 to produce higher-end ceramics—artistic and often experimental—to complement the mass-produced lines of Jasba.  Previously the production of such items was restricted to small workshops; Schwaderlapp's concept was to replicate the look and feel of the work of craftsmen using modern production methods.  The enterprise went public at the Frankfurt Spring Fair with an extensive production range, and the designer Hanns Welling was introduced as the man in charge—responsible for all CERAMANO shapes and décors as well as all advertising.  Welling remained at the helm until 1962 when the position of head designer was handed to Gerda Heuckeroth (later known for her amazing body of work at Carstens).

To achieve its goals, CERAMANO employed many of the top artists of the day, notably (in addition to Welling and Heuckeroth) Dudas Laszlo.  The items it produced were generally of a high quality and a varied nature.  Many of the more expensive pieces were completely handmade on a wheel—using CERAMANO's signature reddish-brown clay, naturally.  Top decors include 'Pergamon,' 'Rustica,' and 'Rubin' plus rarities such as 'Saturn,' 'Incrusta,' and 'Achat.'  Bases are generally hand-marked or engraved by the décor artist with the shape number, décor name, and artist's initials (space permitting).  This practice enhanced the "studio work" semblance of CERAMANO pieces.  Schwaderlapp's son and partner, Willi Schwaderlapp, took over the company in 1964 and split it off from Jasba entirely.

[Note:  Whenever a shape number present, it usually has three-digits and is sometimes followed by a second number, ranging from one to six, that indicates relative size.  Whether or not text is included on the base depends largely on the size of the vase.  'Handarbeit,' or Handmade, is a common engraving.  Vases from later periods were provided with paper labels.]

CERAMANO continued to develop economically with the takeovers of Waku Feuerfest and Steinzeug- und Mosaikplattenfabrik in the 1970s, allowing for expansion into the production of tableware and architectural tiles, respectively.  Export share increased for a time, but the gambit ultimately proved unsuccessful.  As the 1980s progressed, interest in art pottery began to wane sharply.  CERAMANO finally closed its doors in 1989.  (Jasba is still in operation, producing industrial tiles exclusively.)

HANNS WELLING was responsible for some of the most sophisticated output of several of the best post-war German art-pottery manufacturers—Keto, Ruscha, and CERAMANO among them.  He served as the last's artistic director in the early 1970s—otherwise little is recorded about his relationships with these firms.  Many famous CERAMANO shapes and decors are ascribed to him: 'Pergamon,' 'Koralle,' 'Minerva,' 'Ceralux,' 'Tundra.'  Welling also designed tableware and collectibles for Goebel Porzellan.

Luxurious? Um, absolutely!
Size: 2'6" x 5', Color: Ivory White
Oh wow, I love this. Thick and cozy, lovely to sit on. I draped this over an old garage sale recliner that suffered an astonishingly bad upholstery choice decades ago and despite still being in good condition, it's quite unpretty. This skin covers nearly the entire back and most of the seat of that unpretty recliner, and now it's actually rather attractive and I love to sit there, surrounded by this thick, lovely long wool. A bit sheepy smelling at times but I haven't minded. A quick shake restores its appearance. It arrived quickly to my door and came with a brush, which I haven't needed to use. Really, really glad I bought this.

Worth every penny.
Size: 2'6" x 5', Color: Black
It has been my experience that this rug and this company is fabulous if you need or if you want something that’s rich well-made well thought of sheepskin rug you can’t go wrong with this company they take pride in their work I mean by this if you want a sheepskin rug buy from this company. This was the one that I bought and I cannot tell you how gorgeous it is. It saves money because it costs money when you buy cheap you buy twice you buy this. You can forget about it. That’s how good it is.. The weight is perfect. The color is rich and the price there is really no price for something. That is excellent because I’ve been looking around for rugs like this for different creations and decorative tableau and there’s a lot of junk out there..

Not as pictured, but ...
Buyers should note that the advertised photo shows a white rug with gray tips, but the rug I received has a lot of yellow in. Despite the difference, I've decided to keep it because it is a beautiful rug and very soft.

This rug is a fabulous quality for the price!! Thick, soft, great looking. They ship it with a brush and a storage bag... highly impressed. This is my 3rd fur shag from this company. I have 2 cream ones in my master. Im going to order a black one too, just to change it up. Zero smell, functional, nice size, durable... im in love!! It would look very cool on a chair, the back of a couch next to the FP, or even on a bed.... authentically pleasing for sure.
