About West Germany (Stein Keramik)
A West Germany vase/jar is (almost) always made in Germany. Under the name West Germany, there are about thirty different brands such as Scheurich, Bay, Jasba, Carstens, Dümler&Breiden and Ruscha. In the 1950s through the 1970s, these brands were incredibly popular. Many vases were therefore produced during this period. A West Germany vase can be recognized by its “bouncy” appearance with a professionally applied glaze.
The Stein-Keramik factory was located in Ransbach Baumbach, an area with a high concentration of ceramic producers. Many of its designs are by its former owner, Mr. Egon Klein, who joined the company in 1956 and took over with his wife in 1966. Toward the end of its existence, Stein operated as a trading company (rather than as a manufacturer) and may have been discontinued as a brand name in 2009. It currently sells ceramic urns under the name Feuer und Erde (Fire and Earth).
