About West Germany (Marei)
A West Germany vase is (almost) always made in Germany. There are about thirty different brands under the name West Germany, such as Scheurich, Bay, Jasba, Carstens, and Dumbler&Breiden. These brands were incredibly popular in the 1950s to 1970s. Many vases were produced during this period. A West Germany vase can be recognized by its ‘jumping’ appearance with a professionally applied glaze.
Marei was founded in 1949 after Josef Emos and Jean Fuss split up their joint factory, and the name is a combination of Majorika and Reinbach. The factory is famous for its vases and flower pots, characterized by thick volcanic glazes.
