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.

Bang for your buck
Scent: Lemon Verbena Concentrate, Size: 32 Fl Oz (Pack of 2), Scent: Lemon Verbena Concentrate, Size: 32 Fl Oz (Pack of 2)
The amount of spray bottles you get from this concentrate is actually insane. I won’t have to buy surface cleaner until next year. No but seriously, this is a great price point and you get so much from it. All of the Mrs Meyers products have awesome conscious ingredients that I feel comfortable having around my kids and pets (and they’re insanely gross creatures too) The scent is just a cherry on top!!

a miracle in a jar
Scent: Earthy, Nutty, Refreshing, Size: 4.06 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
This item did exactly what it was expected to do, and I couldn’t be happier with my purchase. It works as described, is easy to use, and the overall quality exceeded my expectations. The price was great for what you get, making it an excellent value. Everything about it—from performance to convenience—has been spot on. My sister has noticed an extreme growth in her hair since using this product. I’m very satisfied and would definitely recommend this to anyone looking for something reliable and well worth the money!
