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.

Holds a lot, doesn't soak my countertop
Color: Grey, Color: Grey
Where has this wonderful organizer been all my life? I've always struggled with keeping those little suction-cup organizers reliably attached to the walls of stainless steel sinks -- after a while the cups always fail. But this organizer is just large enough and has room for every scrubbing item I want to grab in a hurry. And there's never water pooling under the organizer and soaking the granite countertop because there are little foam feet on the underside. It even looks classy. I just love it! Only time will tell if this organizer is durable. So far I haven't had to clean it.

Almost perfect sink caddy
Color: Black, Color: Black
My old reliable sink caddy had rusted through and I ordered 3 different replacements that I ended up returning. You would think a sink caddy would be very straightforward and simple - however I had certain things I needed out of it. What I like- -the large size. I don’t love having a million soaps but my husband recently got diagnosed with psoriasis on his hands. We tried Castile soap and water in a pump, and several free and clear types. He’s always working in the yard or cooking and we need them ALL out and accessible. Plus needed room for our actual dish washing soaps and brushes. Even if you have a normal amount of soaps - you could easily display a spray or other cleaner to fill this caddy up. -the tray. This one was important. I returned several others bc their plastic tray or absorbing stone bottoms were too small. The caddy would overhang and your soaps would trip out over past them. This stone tray has a little lip that goes all the way around like a border for your caddy. Most of the drips of water stay confined to the tray. (Unless you have splashy kids washing hands & dripping everywhere). But it’s mostly contained. -absorbing tray. This tray does not require you to empty the water out each day so it doesn’t over fill. It absorbs the water. I don’t know how. Maybe magic. But it doesn’t over fill and it doesn’t leak on the counter. If you have dirty splashes or a dirty scrub brush dripping down - it can leave some brownish marks. I take my soap out once a week and wash the caddy down and scrub the tray and it’s good as new. They included a small sand paper to use if the tray ever loses its absorbing power- you can lightly sand the stone and it’s supposed to open up the pores and be more absorbent again. I’ve only had mine a month and it’s not been an issue yet. The tall, removable brush caddy - while I do wish it was a teensy bit taller - it’s still taller than any others I tried. Your brush will have to lean a bit unless you have multiple brushes helping to hold it up. We basically use one brush and a straw cleaner and I have doubles of each. I keep 1 set out and 1 set in my dishwasher and I switch them every day. But there is room so if you need bottle brushes or scrubbers you could fill it up. You can also remove that little basket entirely if you want. And it has a hook on the back of it so if you prefer - you can hang it off the front of the caddy instead and have it overhanging over your sink instead. My sink is very rounded and it’s tough to display a caddy so that the soap is all accessible but it’s also not overhanging too much. The weight of the under stone tray doesn’t allow it to tip over into the sink or move. They also included sticky protective pads for the bottom of your stone which protects your counter tops and also makes it non slip. Over all I love and am very happy. I hope it doesn’t rust over time. But I would purchase it again. And if they made attachments for it or taller brush basket add ons I would purchase those too. Thanks for reading my ridiculously long review for a simple sink caddy. But if you’re very particular about things like me, I hope it helps!

Works well.
Color: Black
As described, but I think I should have gone with the larger one. Works well and does the job. No runny soapy water on the kitchen counter.
