About West Germany (Ruscha)
A West Germany vase/jug is (almost) always made in Germany. There are about thirty different brands under the name West Germany, such as Scheurich, Bay, Jasba, Carstens, Dümler&Breiden, and Ruscha. These brands were incredibly popular in the 1950s through the 1970s. Many vases were produced during this period. A West Germany vase can be recognized by its ‘jumping’ appearance with a professionally applied glaze.
In 1905, the Ruscha factory was founded by Georg Schradt. The original name was Klein & Schardt. His son Rudolf Schradt took over the company in 1948 and changed the name to Ruscha. In addition to vases, wall tiles were also produced. In 1996, the factory closed its doors.
