Origin & Maker
Scheurich, one of the most prominent names in West German pottery, was founded in 1928 and rose to fame during the mid-20th century. Known for its production of affordable yet high-quality ceramics, the company became a key player in the "Fat Lava" movement of the 1960s and 70s, characterised by bold textures and glazes. Scheurich’s extensive range of forms and designs, such as the popular "Form 242," showcased both hand-painted and moulded motifs, appealing to a wide audience. Their use of vivid colours, tactile surfaces, and intricate glazes made their pieces highly collectible today. Among their distinctive works, many vases, planters, and jugs are finished with deep, volcanic-like textures, giving them a timeless appeal.
One of the reasons for Scheurich's enduring success was their ability to innovate while maintaining affordability. Their design approach often drew inspiration from nature, incorporating organic shapes and motifs, with some pieces reminiscent of majolica in their glaze techniques. The company remains a celebrated name among collectors of mid-century and West German pottery, with many pieces, especially from the "Fat Lava" era, still in high demand.
