Ruscha

History

Founded in 1905 in Rheinbach, Germany, Ruscha Keramik rose to prominence as a leader in West German pottery, particularly during the mid-20th century. Renowned for their innovative designs and bold glazing techniques, Ruscha became a symbol of the vibrant creativity that defined midcentury modern ceramics. The company’s commitment to craftsmanship and artistic experimentation set them apart in a competitive market.

Ruscha Keramik Marks

Ruscha mostly used white clay for its production of pottery. The vases are usually clearly marked on the base with a moulded identification: two or three digits for the form, without a height indication. Some items feature a golden sticker with the name “Ruscha Art”.
