About the Item

One of the finest Mid Century dishes/ashtrays we have seen by the famed Ruscha firm in Germany, this example was probably made by Otto Gerharz, who introduced bumpy, gravelly glazes to modern pottery. The calligraphic motif at the center of the dish recalls the work of America's Abstract Expressionists in the same period, and the glaze's texture is lovely. The dish is well-marked on the bottom.
