A tall Ruscha Keramik 'Korfu" vase in red and orange with hints of black.

RUSCHA KERAMIK launched in 1948 when Rudolf Schardt assumed the management of Klein & Schardt, his father Georg's ceramics factory in the town of Rheinbach, located near Bonn in the German state of North Rhine-Westphalia.  (RUSCHA is a syllabic abbreviation of his name.)  The timing of the re-founding ensured that the company was in a good position to benefit from Germany's post-war growth boom.  RUSCHA KERAMIK became a leading manufacturer during the "golden age" of Western German ceramics and is credited with some of the era's key developments.  It produced some very successful and innovative forms and glazes, including the 'Vulcano' décor (Otto Gerharz, 1951)—which heralded the move towards thick, dripping fat-lava glazes—and the iconic no. 313 (Kurt Tschörner, 1954), probably the period's most famous shape.  Hanns Welling, Adele Bolz, Heinz Siery, and Cilli Wörsdörfer were among other notable designers to work for RUSCHA.

RUSCHA KERAMIK was celebrated for exquisite wall plates, plaques, and tiles—manufactured for both indoor and outdoor applications—as well as its high-quality vases.  Specimens from the 1970s will frequently exhibit remarkable lava and volcanic glazes.  When RUSCHA closed its factory in 1996, Scheurich acquired many of its designs and molds; distinctive silver RUSCHA labels were sometimes applied to the subsequent production.

Notes on identification:  White clay was used practically exclusively.  The rare examples made with red-brown clay are thought to date from periods when normal supply sources ran out.  Embossed and incised base-numbering was used for vessels.  If a vase was made in more than one size, a single digit indicating relative size followed the form number.  Low form numbers (< 100) were sometimes preceded by a letter.  Like a few other manufacturers RUSCHA KERAMIK occasionally recycled form numbers, a cause of distress for some collectors.  Pieces were never molded with "Germany" or "West Germany."

In rare instances, bases were hand-inscribed—less often, painted—with the name RUSCHA and a décor name (these tend to be earlier 1950s items).  Where stickers are found they always read "Ruscha Art."  Many items were not stickered.  Sometimes a retailer's label was applied.

Great for travel or countertop
I ordered 9 of these for my four girls and all my nieces- in two of the nine, the trays sunk in without holding up, the others were great! I love how I can keep them out and they look pretty, or pack them away in luggage for easy transportation!

Small But Mighty — The Best Travel Jewelry Case I’ve Ever Used
Color: Glitter White
This Hatori travel jewelry box is honestly the best little jewelry organizer I’ve ever owned. I don’t know how it works its magic, but it somehow fits so much jewelry and still looks tiny and compact. Go figure. Size & Portability: It’s the perfect size—small enough to toss into a suitcase, carry-on, or even a purse, but big enough to hold everything I need for a trip. Lightweight, sturdy, and it takes up almost no space. Storage Layout: The double-layer design is genius. Bottom: 7 ring rolls + 3 removable compartments (I love that I can move them around depending on what I’m packing). Top: 5 hooks and an elastic pocket to keep necklaces from tangling—YES, it actually works. Everything stays in place, nothing gets tangled, and it looks beautifully organized when you open it. A travel miracle. Quality: The glittery white PU leather exterior is sturdy and cute, and the interior is lined with soft velvet that protects everything. The clasp is easy to use and feels secure—no accidental openings in your suitcase. Why I Love It: It’s compact, durable, organized, and honestly just adorable. Perfect for travel, but also great for keeping your everyday jewelry together in a drawer. If you travel at all—or just like your jewelry organized—this little box is worth every penny. It packs a punch for its size.
