Roth Keramik (unknown)
Roth seemed to be one of the lesser or mid-range companies at first, but as more attributions got correctly shifted to them, it became clear that they did some excellent work, including some weirdly fascinating glazes. Sadly, the member of the Roth family availble to supply information has been less than forthcoming when contacted by researchers. He swears and hangs up. No one is even sure why.

Most of the best designers worked at Ruscha at one time or another, including Kurt Tschörner, Otto Gerharz, Hanns Welling, and Adele Bölz. They were among the top producers for both vases and wall items, although they did produce some mediocre work as well, particularly some of the later wall plaques.

Although the started late, Scheurich produced more items from the 1960s through the 1980s than any of the other art pottery companies. As usual, high production numbers means a wide range of quality and quality control, but some items, especially glazes are major achievements.
Note on Dates: the embossed three circle mark was used 1990-2004, so such items are not from the most collectible era.
