Pedagogy, Philosophy and Nonsense (my "other" site: writing, learning, and odd ideas like long hair and fairy god-princesses)

 

At one time, items with this type of lava decoration were attributed to Roth, but then a friend got a Ruscha catalog, and there were the shapes. Oops

 
 
 
 

 
Shape 313 by Kurt Tschörner for Ruscha was introduced in 1954 and became one of the most successful forms ever made. Word is that at least 50 different glaze treatments exist, and with many of these types, each vase is going to come out a bit different even in the same treatment. You could build a collection just on this shape. Finding the shape is fairly easy if you know where to look, but finding any specific glaze is a bit maddening (and isn't that what we love?).

 

 

The elegant, yet humorous design is by Kurt Tschörner for Rushca.

 


This appears to be shape 45 from the Ruscha "Serie Antik".

  

Ruscha shape number 832, attributin based on catalog picture.
