Jaru Art Products began in 1950 by Jack and Ruth Hirsh in Culver City, California. The name is a combination of the first two letters of their first names (Ja and ru). Jaru sold artwares by various artists then later created its own line. Most pieces were marked with a simple paper sticker, although some have an impressed mark. Jaru was sold in 1968
