A very rare 'Aztec' relief-décor head vase from JASBA KERAMIK.  JASBA produced several series of ceramics on themes inspired by ancient civilizations; among the most sought-after today are examples from the 'Aztec' and 'Mexiko' line.  It is quite unusual to find this particular item in the secondary market.  Impressed with the maker's mark and mold number on its base.  This stupendous vase would make an extraordinary centerpiece with a grand arrangement of flowers sprouting as a crown!

JASBA KERAMIK was founded by Jakob Schwaderlapp in 1926 on a leased property in the small community of Baumbach, today incorporated into the town of Ransbach-Baumbach, in the Rheinland, now the German state of Rhineland-Palatinate, in the heart of the Kannenbäckerland.  (The Kannenbäckerland—the potters' land, or more literally the jug-bakers' land—is the site of Europe's largest clay deposit and the home to centuries-old ceramics manufacture.)  Schwaderlapp first produced earthenware central-heating systems, but as early as 1928, built a separate factory to accommodate an expansion into domestic wares including terra cotta vases, fruit bowls, and baking dusters.  In 1937 glazed ceramics were added. A major fire temporarily interrupted business development in 1938, but the factory was soon rebuilt, and all of the new buildings were equipped with the latest modern technology.  Unfortunately, this came about just in time for the outbreak of WWII.  JASBA was mostly restricted to contract work for the Wehrmacht (the united armed forces of Nazi Germany) for the duration of the war, but the production of porcelain, stoneware, and ornamental ceramics quickly resumed when the war ended.  A steep upward trend followed in the post-war period; the number of employees rose from 80 in 1948 to 480 by 1955.  By that time JASBA had grown to be the largest ceramics enterprise in the Westerwald, with a volume of domestic and foreign sales in the seven-digit range, so, when the troubled Porzellanfabrik Niederrhein GmbH in Rees became available in 1957, the decision was made to buy it and convert it to the production of industrial tiles and mosaic wall panels for the building trade.  This decision would prove to be one of Schwaderlapp's best.

Meanwhile, the already large range of ornamental ceramics coming out of the parent plant continued to expand.  The program was limited to conventional forms and décors until a cautious introduction of modern forms began in 1955.  In that year, the décor 'Jaspatina' was introduced, and a year later the very popular crawl glaze 'Cortina' was made available in several color variants.  The latter proved to be very successful and remained in the production until the early '60s.  At the beginning of 1957, the ceramicist and décor designer Cilli Wörsdörfer joined JASBA KERAMIK following a stint at Ruscha, where she had created the popular 'Domino' and 'Milano' décors (1954).  Her colorful, abstract work shook up the previously conventional appearance of JASBA's ornamental ceramics.  She struck a special note with the décors 'Tuscany,' 'Udine,' and 'Verona' (1957); she followed these up with 'Ghana' and 'Karo' (1958), all of which are much sought after by collectors of JASBA's '50s-era production.

JASBA's immense repertoire was characterized by diversity.  In 1958 alone, 40 different forms of vases were offered in more than 80 sizes and almost 30 different decor variants.  In a bid to reach a higher-end market, Schwaderlapp founded JASBA's well-heeled sister company, Ceramano Kunstkeramik W.J. Schwaderlapp KG in 1959.  Ceramano would become a powerhouse in its own right with the production of innovative, higher-end forms and glazes, intended to resemble the work of studio potters.  Its products were sold in better department stores and speciality shops throughout Europe.

When she married in 1960, Wörsdörfer ended her artistic career, and handed over her position to Christiane Reuter, whose wide ranging 'Bunte Welt der Keramik' (Colorful World of Ceramics) series initiated the introduction of newer stylistic tendencies and bright colorful glazes at JASBA in late 1962.  (Reuter is also celebrated as the designer of the iconic 'Acapulco' dinnerware décor for Villeroy and Boch (1967), which remained in continuous production until 1994 and is highly prized by collectors.)  JASBA did not do many lava or other textured glazes, but they were especially experimental with shapes and molded patterns.  At the end of the 1962 the last typical shapes and decors of the previous decade were retired.  The production of decorative ceramics began to decrease at the beginning of the 1970s.  In 1981 the focus of production shifted exclusively to the company's extremely successful line of architectural tiles.  The business still operates today as Jasba Mosaik.

Easy recommendation
Style: For Him
Actual reviewer, not paid to make this, nor was incentivized. Great value - these soaps last around 3 months each. Scents are non-offensive, soap doesn't leave my skin dry, and I feel clean afterward. They also lather up really well!

IMMEDIATE REACTION, PLUS FOLLOW UP AFTER A WEEK!
Style: For Him
**Package arrived LITERALLY 5 minutes ago, here is my immediate initial reaction, and then I'll actually post this after USING the soap and getting a better feel for the product.** Keeping in mind that smell is subjective, here are my knee jerk thoughts on the bars of soap: - Firstly, I can smell the soap through the bag (and box). Whatever scent this is, it's POTENT. - Opening the box, the bars of soap look a LITTLE small. Not egregiously so, but a little bit smaller than your average bar of soap; BUT I check them against a new bar of Dove soap that I have, and they are identical. The eyes are playing tricks on you with these. - Here is the breakdown of the 6 scents - Activated Charcoal. This is what I was HOPING would smell like the "Pine Tar" that other companies (like Dr. Squatch, which I've never used, btw) have, but it is the "soap-est" smelling soap, with a hint of tar. It smells a little bit like a can of new paint. - Tango Mango. IMHO, the best smelling of the 6, with strong citrus smells. Very lemon-y, but pleasant. - Eucamint. Ahhh, here's what was permiating out of the box. This smell is STRONG, with an AGGRESSIVE mint smell. Like, Ben Gay mint. And as strong to boot. It doesn't smell BAD, but it's hands down the strongest scent. - Oatmeal Shea. Meh. Kinda smells like an old coat that would be hanging in your grandfathers closet. It's not a BAD smell, but it has this weird odor to it, like when you leave a can of peanuts in your cupboard for a long time, and then go back and smell it. - Patchouli Lime. This one kind of smells like a mixture of Activated Charcoal, Eucamint and Oatmeal Shea. It smells like a room that you just painted a day or two ago, and it definitely has the Ben Gay after aroma lingering. - Apline Spice. This smells like a box. Like find an empty cardboard box, open it, and take a whiff. Boom, Alpine Spice. My least favorite. I will say, none of them STINK; as in there isn't a smell that I'm like, "ewww, I don't want to smell like AT ALL!" Which sounds weird, because I described some of them as "paint," "an old coat," and "a cardboard box," but I feel that those are just very passive smells, not aggressively bad ones. If there is a problem soap, I would assume it's going to be Eucamint, because it might just be too overpowering, although I've found that the more you smell them, they seem to mellow out. I imagine that after a shower with these, the smell will dissipate enough that it will be more mild. Still, with the exception of Tango Mango; a very good smelling soap mind you, I'd say they are all very "manly" scents, and I'm excited to try them out. Ok, so I'm a little over a week in, and here's my final take. (I made it through Activated Charcoal and Tango Mango): First, the scents ABSOLUTELY mellow out when used to actually shower with them. My wife, who admittedly isn't really up on me like that, hasn't even mentioned me smelling differently than the last 11 years. So, if she's even noticed, it's not on a level to make a fuss about. This is important because fresh from the box, these things have some powerful scents, but they are definitely tamed by washing with them. The bars last ABOUT 7 showers. Obviously, your mileage will vary based on how long you're in the shower, how much you scrub, how you store them, etc, but I was able to get 7 GOOD showers out of these. I have them in these natural sisal (whatever that is) exfoliating bags that help lather and store the soap, and really did some good scrubbing in my showers. The bars lather decently, but I'm not sure how much the bag helps with that. If you are a once a day showerer, a bar a week is a very fair approximation of what you'll get. I definitely felt.....SOMETHING I didn't before with my shower gel showers. I don't know if that's the moisturizing, or the exfoliation, but my skin felt a little different after showering. A decent buy. I'm not thrilled, but I'm not upset either. I don't think it changed my life, or even the way I shower, but I'm not mad at the experiment. I may try the Dr. Squatch soaps to see how all these stack up.

Convinced to make the switch
Style: Citrus
Love this soap. I was using Jukebox, but I'm making the switch. Crate 61 feels better on my skin, the bars last a little longer and the 6 pack is $15 cheaper than I was paying for 6 bars with the Jukebox subscription. I get extremely dirty at my job so I tend to go through soap faster than the average women. Jukebox bars would last me about 4 days. These will last 6 or 7 days. Jukebox bars were a definite upgrade from body wash, but it would irritate the sensitive areas. I don't have that issue with this soap. Jukebox bars smell nice in the shower, but I feel like the scent didn't last beyond that. Crate 61 leaves a pleasantly subtle smell on my skin after showering. The only benefit with Jukebox is that you can choose the individual soaps in your 6 pack, rather than selecting one of the collections.
