Origin & Maker

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.

One of Ruscha’s most iconic designers was Kurt Tschörner, whose work brought the brand global acclaim. His designs, such as the legendary Ruscha 313 vase—often referred to as the "Fat Lava Vase"—are celebrated for their dramatic forms and textured finishes. Other noteworthy pieces include the Ruscha 352, which shares similarities with the 313 but boasts a unique flair. Otto Gerharz, another key figure, further enhanced Ruscha’s reputation with innovative glazes, including the famous "Vulkano" finish.

Today, Ruscha pottery is highly sought after by collectors, embodying the essence of midcentury modern design.
