Ceramano-Kunstkeramik

 Ceramano: In operation from 1959-1984; For a company that was in business for a rather short time, Ceramano produced a wide range of suberb pottery. Many items are extensively marked with the company name, line name, and artist's initials. However, I have seen some unmarked items that I strongly suspect are from Ceramano
