As I explore the early years of Jaru Art, I become more enamored with the unique pieces they sold.

This Metal Owl is a beautiful example.  I would love to know that artist who created him.

 This is the piece that started my collection.  He is a beautiful, shiny, navy blue horse head.  I was drawn to the bold color and large size. The paper label was missing but Jaru 1980 is stamped on the lower back edge.

 

Today I begin my first Blog post.  My purpose is to discover rare pieces of art and historical information about Jaru Art Products.

I seem to find more and more misinformation than facts.  As I go I will post links to incorrect information for all to enjoy.

Today I have been try to find an Artist for the hand painted tiles made for Jaru in the early years.  Here are a few examples.  Anyone?

I've seen clowns, poodles, Mayans and musicians painted on tiles.  Many seem to have the same simple wood framing.
