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.

Impressive suit for the price
Size: X-Large, Color: Navy Blue
Order suit in my normal size (44R) and it fit perfectly. I’m 6’1” and the pant length set at the correct level. Quality fabric and stitching is well finished. Pants are comfortable at the waist with enough flex to be forgiving. Very good deal for the price…suit, vest and tie.

Great for tall, slender teenager!
Size: Small, Color: Light Grey, Size: Small, Color: Light Grey
Finding a suit for a tall, slender teenage boy is about as hard as climbing Mt. Everest. Until I found this one!! I was so pleasantly surprised that this suit fit my 15 year old son like a glove. He is 5'10'' and 140 lbs so he needs pants with the proper length and smaller waist. While the waist was slightly big, he didn't need a belt and the pants fell perfectly with a pair of Nike tennis shoes. I ordered a size small and would say the pants were a 32x32 but waist was probably more like a 31. Jacket and vest were a great fit as well. High quality and easy to steam to get the shipping wrinkles out.

Fantastic suite for the price!
Size: Large, Color: Khaki
I purchased the gray version to evaluate the suit. I ordered a size up based on other reviews and was pleased to discover everything fit well. The jacket fit well around the arms, chest, shoulders, and even my seemingly ever-growing gut. The vest was the same. The pants also fit well around the waist (thanks to the expanding waistband) butt, and thighs. The only problem was the pants were about 2 sizes too long. Considering the price point, I was felt I was still way ahead after paying to have them altered. After a couple week's worth of wear, I purchased 4 more (gray, black, blue and tan). All fit the same way and were easily altered too. The tailor even had the cashier ask me where I purchased these as he was impressed with the quality. A couple months in and I'm still pleased, although I've had a few issues. My right pocket on my blue pair has ripped it's seam twice, as has the same pocket on one of my gray pair. Considering it's the same pocket, I would suspect I am just heavy handed but this is not a common problem with any of my other clothes. The pants are a bit on the tighter side when I am sitting down so perhaps the stitching is just not strong enough. I have asked the tailor to give me a super stitch in this area and am just about to pick up the gray pair with this new stitch. I'll try to remember to update later on. Overall, I feel I have really gotten my money's worth out of these suits, especially considering the prices of others. I have been wearing these daily since June and have gotten many compliments.

Great suit at a great value
Size: Large, Color: Black
I have ordered several other suits from the seller for my three boys over the last several years for either their prom, special events and graduations. The fit and value are wonderful. I would definitely recommend this suit if you want something that is classy looking, but won’t break the bank
