RARE Jaru Cast Stone Lion Head Container

Jaru Art Products was started in 1950 by Jack and Ruth Hirsh in Culver City, Calif. The name is a combination of the first two letters of their first names (Ja and ru). Jaru sold artwares and figurines by different artists. The company later created its own lines. Most pieces were marked with a simple paper sticker, although some have an impressed mark. Jaru changed hands in 1968 and stayed in business until the 1990s by diversifying and importing products.

This ceramic piece is a rare, one of a kind piece and weighs 7lbs 8oz. It's beautiful! I've never seen another like it. I've had it since 2001. I'm only letting it go now because I wish to downsize and am trying to simplify my living space. It doesn't go with my current decor as a result. No doubt it will make someone very happy. It will come wrapped heavily in bubble wrap to insure its safe arrival. Any questions, please ask. :)
