SCHEURICH KERAMIK ‘VULKAN’ CERAMOS BALL VASE Nr. 284/19

This "Ceramos"-form ball vase from SCHEURICH KERAMIK exhibits a fiery and cratered, fat-lava 'Vulkan' glaze décor.  Striking rivulets of red, orange, and black cover a speckled, golden-wheat ground that transitions to a dark brown interior.  Definitely one of the most impressive Ceramos vases we have ever had to offer! SCHEURICH had its origins in a joint venture launched in 1928 by Alois Scheurich and his cousin Fridolin Greulich in the small town of Schneeberg near the Czech border in Saxony—wholesaling glass, porcelain, and ceramics.  The business was moved to the market community of Kleinheubach in the northeast corner of Bavaria in 1938, and ten years later the partners began producing household ceramics of their own, selling them under the name Scheurich & Greulich.  In 1954 Alois founded SCHEURICH to continue the production on his own. The celebrated designer Heinz Siery was recruited the following year.  He developed production techniques for SCHEURICH as well as designs.
