Description
Pair of ceramic vases, Germany, late 1960s. Height : 36cm - 14.2 in. , Diameter : 26cm - 10.2 in. Jasba mark under the base. Jasba label on the neck. Can be mounted as lamps.
Jasba Keramik vases from the 1950s to the 1970s are particularly sought after by collectors and vintage ceramic enthusiasts due to their avant-garde designs, bold colours and craftsmanship. This period was marked by a significant change in decorating styles, and Jasba played a key role in this transition with designs that stood out for their modern aesthetic and innovative character.
Jasba vases from the 50s-70s are famous for their often abstract and organic shapes, inspired by natural forms or modern geometric shapes. We find fluid curves, clean lines, as well as sculptural silhouettes.
The influence of the Mid-Century Modern movement is evident, with a design that seeks to combine functionality and aesthetics, creating decorative objects while remaining utilitarian.
The color palette used by Jasba during this period was bold and varied. Bright hues such as orange, blue, green, and yellow were frequently used, often in contrast with more neutral tones or matte finishes.
Vases were often glazed with rough or smooth textures, creating interesting visual effects. Some models feature cracked glaze finishes, which add an extra dimension to the design.
The salt glazing technique was also used, which gives a unique and irregular look to each piece.
Patterns and Ornamentation:
Although the forms were often minimalist, some pieces feature geometric patterns or decorative elements such as incised lines, imprints, or reliefs carved into the ceramic.
The designs were often simple but elegant, sometimes inspired by Art Deco or Art Nouveau, while being modernized according to the tastes of the time.
Jasba vases were handcrafted, and each piece had its own character, even though they were mass-produced. This contributes to the appeal of these objects, as each vase bears the imprint of craftsmanship.
The ceramics used were generally of high quality, with glazes that were resistant to wear and tear while still providing visually striking results.
The design of Jasba vases from this period is deeply influenced by the architectural trends of the time, including the Bauhaus movement and modernized Art Deco. The emphasis was on clean lines, the use of space, and simple but dynamic forms.
These vases were not only decorative objects, but also style statements, often displayed in modern and elegant interiors, combined with Scandinavian-style furniture or decorations inspired by the 50s.
Pieces from this period are often stamped with the Jasba logo, which allows them to be easily identified. The logo was usually written on the bottom of the vase or sometimes engraved directly on the piece.
Depending on the period, some vases may have specific markings or signs indicating the year of production or model numbers, although this information is not always systematically present.
Why are they sought after today?
Jasba vases from the 1950s to 1970s have become sought-after collectibles by vintage design enthusiasts and interior designers. Their rarity, quality of manufacture and aesthetic impact make them valuable pieces for collectors.
In addition, their popularity in modern and retro interiors has anchored them in 20th-century design culture, and they are often used to add a touch of elegance or character to contemporary spaces.
In summary, Jasba vases from the 1950s to 1970s are a great example of innovation in post-war ceramic design, where traditional craftsmanship meets modern movements to create pieces that are both contemporary and contemporary.

Cancellations and Returns
Last updated: 24th March 2025
We want everybody’s Vinterior experience to be seamless, so both buyers and sellers can fall in love with pre-loved. We designed our Terms of sale to treat everybody fairly.
However, sometimes things don’t go exactly to plan, and you may need to cancel or return an order.
To prevent this, we encourage you to check listings, photos and descriptions carefully before you buy. If you aren’t sure about a piece’s condition, size, provenance or shipping, just ask; click Contact seller to get in touch. Always contact your seller first if you have any queries, at any point in your purchase.
Our buyers receive the same protection when buying from all our sellers, both professional and verified.
Can I cancel an order?
There are many reasons why you might need to cancel an order, and you'll often be entitled to a refund. To cancel an order, click Create cancellation on the order page.
If you cancel your order before it has been dispatched, you will receive a full refund - including delivery costs. However, if your item has been shipped, delivery costs will not be included in your refund.
Please note: orders of bespoke, personalised or made-to-order pieces cannot be cancelled.
Can I return an order?
We understand that sometimes a piece isn’t the perfect fit. So if you no longer want your order, our returns process will ensure it finds a new home fast.
The Vinterior Guarantee included with your purchase entitles you to 14-day returns - allowing you to return any item within 14 days of the delivery date (except in specific circumstances, detailed below).
You can return your order if...
It isn't what you expected
If what arrives isn’t what you ordered, you can open a return. Just send us some photo evidence that the listing was inaccurate, misleading or misrepresented your purchased piece, and you’ll receive a refund.
You change your mind
If you don’t feel a piece is right for your space, you can return it. Once you request a change of mind return, you’ll be responsible for shipping the piece back to your seller as soon as possible. Delivery costs are non-refundable.
It's damaged in transit
In the rare event that an item arrives damaged or defective, you have a full 30 days from the date of delivery to return it for a full refund.
If your purchase arrives broken, always let us know. If Proovia delivered the piece, we can raise an insurance claim on the seller’s behalf. Or, the seller can raise a claim with their chosen courier.
What can't I return?
Just as there are some orders you can’t cancel, there are some you cant return, too. Personalised, bespoke or made-to-order pieces are non-returnable, and non-refundable. Sellers may also reject your return if the item has been altered in any way.
Please note: pieces on our site are pre-loved, not new. They may show some wear and tear; this is not sufficient grounds for a refund, unless the seller has misrepresented the item’s condition.
Lastly, neither Vinterior nor our sellers are liable for any damages or loss sustained in transit via third parties.
I'm eligible for a return. Now what?
To initiate a return, log into your Vinterior account, then go to the relevant order page and click Create a return. In the return request, be sure to include all the details: the reason for your return, an in-depth description, and photos of any issues or damage.
How will I receive my refund?
Once the seller confirms they’ve received the item (in the same condition it was sent), we will send your refund to your original payment method.
All items are inspected on return. If the seller receives the return with damage they don’t recognise, we will not be able to process your refund and the seller may need to send the piece back to you. You will be required to cover these delivery costs.
