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.

Really good baby lotion
Recently purchased this, I was skeptical given that I’ve never used river in brand on any of my babies skin, I tried so many different baby lotions (unscented & for sensitive skin) and this one so far has been working great! It isn’t too greasy and my baby’s skin is definitely improving

Works great for dry skin!
I stumbled across this product when looking for a new lotion for my 2 month olds super dry skin. I tried several lotions until finally this one worked. It is fragrance free which is a huge plus. It was vent gentle on my babies skin and helped with her dry skin fairly quick. This is a staple in our nighttime routine now! Only thing I do not love about it, is that it is a little thin/liquidly which I personally don't like. Overall, great product and would re buy!

Great Baby Lotion!
Love this lotion for my baby. It keeps her skin soft and smooth and absorbs quickly. I even use on myself at times as well.

Amazing for sensitive babies
This lotion is amazing!! My baby girl has extremely sensitive skin nothing worked for her and other well known brands kept creating irritation for her. Her pediatrician recommended this brand and it truly soothes her skin with no irritation, moistures beautifully all day long and has a light refreshing scent! It’s a must have for babies that are extra sensitive! Pairs well with the body wash as well.

The best foundation!
Style: Refill, Color: Golden Glow, Style: Refill, Color: Golden Glow
I recently tried the Jane Iredale makeup powder foundation and I have to say, it's absolutely amazing! This foundation has quickly become my go-to for achieving a flawless and natural-looking complexion. One of the things I love about this powder foundation is its lightweight. It feels very light on the skin and allows it to breathe, which is perfect for those who prefer a more natural and comfortable makeup look. It doesn't feel heavy or cakey at all, even after hours of wear. The coverage of this foundation is also impressive. It provides just the right amount of coverage to even out my skin tone and conceal any imperfections, while still allowing my skin to look like skin. It doesn't settle into fine lines or emphasize dry patches, giving me a smooth and radiant finish. Another great feature of this foundation is its long-lasting power. It stays put throughout the day, even in humid weather or during physical activities. I don't have to worry about it melting off or fading, which is a huge plus for me. I use the Jane D2O spray prior to putting on the powder and a final spritz after applying to set. I also appreciate the fact that Jane Iredale powder foundation is made with high-quality and skin-friendly ingredients. It is free from harsh chemicals and irritants, making it suitable for sensitive skin types. It gives me peace of mind knowing that I'm not compromising the health of my skin while wearing it. Overall, I feel Jane Iredale foundation is a game-changer. I highly recommend it to anyone!
