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.

Dog and dog parent approved!
If you are tired of typical stuffed toys being ripped apart by your best friend, and then having to pick up the stuffing and/or squeaker parts, then you will appreciate this crinkle duck toy. The toy itself is 14 inches long, 8 inches wide, and relatively flat. It is filled with a material that crackles (similar to crumpling up a plastic bag) when played with by your dog. It is rather sturdy and easy to throw. When shown to my puppy, who is 7 months old and likes to rip the stuffing out of anything he can, he took it and ran. This toy provided him with the entertainment that he enjoys and, best of all, no stuffing to be found! While I cannot say your dog will not destroy this toy, my pup has been enjoying it without it ripping for a while now and I am happy that he is happy with the toy.

Dog enjoys the durability and crinkling and I love the lack of stuffing
My miniature poodle was pretty excited about this toy. It has almost everything he loves in a toy: A squeaker, parts sticking out (wings and feet on this toy), a good size so he can shake it violently as if it were prey, and strong stitching so we can play tug o'war with him. He enjoyed the novelty of the crinkling, but ultimately he still seems to slightly prefer the stuffed toys, because there's just more to do as he rips them apart and makes a huge, gross mess of fluffy stuffing on the floor. 4 stars from the dog. For me? Five stars. Because it's tough, so I think it'll last a long time (has already lasted through many tug o'wars), and I don't worry about mess or potential accidental swallowing of polyester fluff-stuffing. So I'll round my rating up to 5.

Highly recommend! My dog loved it!
My dog absolutely loves this toy! She is a big fan of that crinkle sound some toys make and the head of the duck has a little squeaker! My dog is 23lbs for reference so you guys can get an idea as to how large the dog toy is. I just played a some soft fetch with her in the house as well as tug of war and she is not prancing around with the cute duck in her mouth 🥲

Our dogs really like this toy
What a fun toy for our two dogs. It has a squeaker in the head, and the body makes a crinkle sound I think we will probably have to buy another one so that both dogs will have their own. We have discovered that dog toys with both a squeaker and crinkle become favorites of our dogs. Squeaking this toy several times bought both of our dogs running from the opposite side of the house. The duck dog chew toy is a bright yellow. It lays mostly flat. Even though our dogs are little, about 12 pounds each, they can easily carry this toy around. It is light enough and also large enough to work for any size of dog.
